“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.” -Daniel Handler

Synopsis

This treatise on aesthetics begins by showing that the word |art| is used as a name not only for |art proper| but also for certain things which are |art falsely so called.| These are craft or skill, magic, and amusement, each of which, by confusion with art proper, generates a false aesthetic theory. In the course of attacking these theories the author criticizes various psychological theories of art, offers a new theory of magic, and reinterprets Plato's so-called |attack on art,| showing that it has been entirely misunderstood. Finally, he draws important inferences concerning the position of art in human society.
