This book argues that there is not - that Islam does not play an leading role in the aesthetic judgements that we should make about objects created in the Islamic world.It is often argued that a very special sort of consciousness went into creating Islamic art, that it is very different from other forms of art, that Muslims are not allowed to portray human beings in their art, and that calligraphy is the supreme Islamic art form. Oliver Leaman challenges all these ideas, showing them to be misguided. Instead he suggests that the sort of criteria we should apply to Islamic art are identical to the criteria applicable to art in general, and that the attempt to put Islamic art into a special category is a result of orientalismKey FeaturesCriticises the influence of Sufism on Islamic aestheticsDeals with issues arising in painting, calligraphy, architecture, gardens, literature, films, and musicPays close attention to the Qur'anArgument includes examples from history, art, philosophy, theology and the artefacts of the Islamic worldThe reader is invited to view Islamic art as no more and no less than ordinary art, neither better nor worse than anything else that counts as art. It follows that there are no special techniques required in Islamic aesthetics as compared with any other form of aesthetics."New Edinburgh Islamic surveys.Islam and artIslamic artsAesthetics, ArabIslam and art.Islamic arts.Aesthetics, Arab.700.917671Leaman Oliver1950-476437MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810193003321Islamic aesthetics1237068UNINA
