The Aesthetics of Democracy

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of aesthetics and modern liberal democracy, the book presents an interdisciplinary approach that merges art theory with political philosophy and economic theory. It critiques contemporary discussions on "political art" and highlights historical tensions between art and politics in European and American democratic discourse. By revealing underlying assumptions about modern liberal democracy, the author, Craig Carson, initiates a new exploration of how art, media, and television influence contemporary politics.
