Description

The Principles of Art by R. G. Collingwood is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of art and its relationship with history and philosophy. Written in 1937, this treatise delves into the fundamental questions of what art is, what it does, and what it means. Collingwood's work, part of his broader philosophical output, examines various aspects of art including craft, representation, magic, amusement, and proper art. This book offers a detailed examination of these concepts, making it an essential read for those interested in the philosophy of art. Republished in an affordable modern edition, this volume includes a specially-commissioned new biography of the author, providing valuable context to Collingwood's life and work.
