La estética hoy

Rate this book
Todavia hoy es normal preguntarse sobre lo bello, el gusto, la nocion de obra o el arte, pero hay que percatarse de que estas palabras y estos conceptos han cambiado de sentido. Su dimension social no tiene mucho que ver con la de sus origenes esteticos: de un pequeno mundo de aficionados afortunados se ha pasado a una circulacion generalizada y precipitada de reproducciones de obras en numero cada vez mayor. Que es hoy en dia la estetica?. Que es lo que sigue operativo de los conceptos antiguos?. Continua siendo la configuracion de nociones a la que se ha dado en llamar "estetica" la mas util? La intencion esencial de este libro es exponer la configuracion estetica en su historia y a partir de sus raices.

A pompous, insufferable book who honestly reads more like a vanity project than something with a clear aim. What is not senseless is a platitude, and what is not a platitude is unoriginal and better treated somewhere else. Not to mention that its 'current' take on aesthetics is from a quarter of a century ago — I only give it two stars because I found some interesting artists through it. For a good book on aesthetics and the evolution of its core concepts (outdated as well, but enjoyable, original and still useful as a starting point even though much older), read 'A History of Six Ideas', by Władysław Tatarkiewicz.
