Book Description:
With his usual lucidity, Etienne Gilson addresses the idea that 'art is the making of beauty for beauty's sake.' By distinguishing between aesthetics, which promotes art as a form of knowledge, and philosophy, which focuses on the presence of the artist's own talent or genius, Gilson maintains that art belongs to a different category entirely, the category of 'making.' Gilson's intellectually stimulating meditation on the relation of beauty and art is indispensible to philosophers and artists alike.
