Dominic McIver Lopes Boeken

The book presents a groundbreaking perspective on art philosophy, arguing against traditional definitions that fail to address complex cases. It introduces Lopes's "buck passing" theory, which effectively captures the essence of avant-garde art and its provocative nature. By focusing on the idea that a work of art is simply a product of one of the arts, it challenges conventional views and encourages a deeper understanding of artistic expression.

Aesthetic Life and Why It Matters offers three new answers to Socrates's great question about how we should live, which focus on the place of aesthetic engagement in well-being. Three philosophers offer their perspectives on how aesthetic commitments move us through the world and shape our well-being, our sense of self, and our connections to others.
