Western aesthetics and art theory begin with Plato; this book aims to offer an understanding of his criticisms of the arts in the context of his own philosophy, and to locate him in today's philosophy of art. Christopher Janaway provides an accessible and illuminating discussion of such issues as beauty, emotion, ethical knowledge, artistic autonomy, and censorship.
