Klappentext

Beauty surrounds us---in art that captivates, in landscapes that move us, and in countless aspects of life. Yet beauty remains a philosophical puzzle. How can something so deeply tied to feeling also demand rational responsiveness? How can aesthetic value be at once personal, social, and universal?

In Beholden to Beauty , Keren Gorodeisky confronts these questions with rigor and insight.
>Rejecting the view that feelings are blind, Gorodeisky shows that aesthetic experience is reason-responsive without reducing beauty to the goodness of pleasure or the value of our capacity for it. In doing so, she resolves some of the deepest puzzles about beauty, revealing it as intelligible only in light of our shared human capacity for feeling.

Profound, original, and elegantly argued, Beholden to Beauty offers a transformative account of why beauty matters-and why our response to it is essential to who we are.
