- Invaluable for academics and students in philosophy, the arts, and cultural studies

The Oxford Handbooks series is a major new initiative in academic publishing. Each volume offers an authoritative and up-to-date survey of original research in a particular subject area. Specially commissioned essays from leading figures in the discipline give critical examinations of the progress and direction of debates. Oxford Handbooks provide scholars and graduate students with compelling new perspectives upon a wide range of subjects in the humanities and social sciences.
The Oxford Handbook of Aesthetics brings the authority, liveliness, and multi-disciplinary scope of the Handbook series to the area where philosophy
meets the arts. Jerrold Levinson has assembled a hugely impressive range of talent to contribute 48 brand-new essays, making this the most comprehensive guide available to the theory, application, history, and future of the field. This Handbook will be invaluable to academics and students across philosophy and all branches of the arts, both as the reference work of choice and as a stimulus to new research and creativity.
Readership: Scholars and students of philosophy, especially aesthetics; academics and graduate students in literature, music, and other arts disciplines; professional artists and performers.

"the philosophy of emotion as a whole is considerably richer as a result of this comprehensive, skilfully edited collection of high-quality philosophical work ... essential reading for those with an interest in the emotions" - Michael Brady, British Journal of Aesthetics "This Handbook is a timely response to a growing interest in aesthetics ... it covers a good deal of ground, provides much interesting information and abounds in interesting quotations." - Peter Rickman, Philosophy Now "Levinson has achieved his intention to provide a collection from which both the professional philosopher and the enthusiastic non-professional can derive instruction and pleasure. . . . he has brought together many of
the key practitioners in the field of philosophical aesthetics and this is reflected in the depth of subjects and the lucid quality of the writing." - British Journal of Aesthetics
