This well-preserved 1961 third printing of R.G. Collingwood’s seminal work, “The Principles of Art,” offers a thought-provoking exploration of aesthetics and the nature of art. Collingwood, a renowned British philosopher and historian, challenges traditional notions by asserting that art is not merely an imitation of nature but a revelatory expression of human emotions. Through his lucid prose and insightful arguments, he delves into the psychological and metaphysical underpinnings of artistic creation, inviting readers to ponder the essence of beauty and the role of the artist in society. This copy, with its minor wear and tear, bears witness to its enduring relevance, having been studied and cherished by generations of scholars, artists, and aesthetes. A must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of art theory and philosophy.
