It shows this relationship throughout the works of some avant-gardists, pragmatists, and postmodernists. It is also a voice in the discussion about the meaning of the fine arts and aesthetics in the context of the political aims and norms. This voice claims that the political dimension of art and aesthetics should be studied much more seriously than it has been till today, and needs more courageous re-interpretations and re-readings.Value inquiry book series ;Volume 264.AestheticsPragmatismElectronic books.Aesthetics.Pragmatism.111.85Skowroński Krzysztof Piotr868923Pollmann StudioMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465408703321Beyond aesthetics and politics2131844UNINA
