Key Additions to the Fourth Edition
The fourth edition is expanded to include a total of ninety-six essays with nineteen new essays (nine of them written exclusively for this volume), updated organization into new sections, revised introductions to each section, an increased emphasis on contemporary topics, such as stand-up comedy, the architecture of museums, interactivity and video games, the ethics of sexiness, trans/gendered beauty, the aesthetics of junkyards and street art, pornography, and the inclusion of more diverse philosophical voices. Nevertheless, this edition does not neglect classic writers in the traditional aesthetics: Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Collingwood, Bell, and writers of similar status in aesthetics. The philosophers writing new chapters exclusively for this fourth edition are:
• Sondra Bacharach on street art
• Aili Bresnahan on appreciating dance
• Hina Jamelle on digital architecture
• Jason Leddington on magic
• Sheila Lintott on stand-up comedy
• Yuriko Saito on everyday aesthetics
• Larry Shiner on art spectacle museums in the twenty-first century
• Peg Brand Weiser on how beauty matters
• Edward Winters on the feeling of being at home in vernacular architecture, as in such urban places as bars.
