Review

The book was in great condition except for a razor slice in the back. It was shipped in a timley manner as well.

extremely helpful

this book is extremely helpful for my class and the amount of time it took to get here was a life saver seeing it showed up right before my first assignment it was also much cheaper than anywhere else which saved me more than half the money i had.

Aesthetics for the True Student

This book is filled with primary texts. It does not contain a guide per se to understanding each selection. However, I think this is exactly what is needed in a philosophy anthology. The selections were definitely limited to ancient to modern texts and this leaves out post modern writings on aesthetics. I enjoyed the book it contained a good range of thinkers from Tolstoy, Hume and Kant.
