In this book he presents an annotated version of the text of the four 1996 Ryle Lectures that he gave at Trent University.Addressing the nature and prospects of aesthetics as a discipline, Sparshott discusses beauty, taste, and the place of imagination, fiction, and fine art in societies. He investigates the place of such a discipline in the broad social structures provided by universities and civilizations, and tackles many perennially interesting questions about education and the life of the mind.Written with wit and charm, the lectures journey through a vast terrain of references, yet wear their learning lightly. Sparshott's engaging style and humane vision will, as always, attract a wide and diverse readership. 410 0$aToronto studies in philosophy 606 $aAesthetics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAesthetics. 676 $a111/.85 700 $aSparshott$b Francis Edward$f1926-$0122312 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455675503321 996 $aThe future of aesthetics$92476921 997 $aUNINA
