520 1 |a "Is it body or spirit that makes us appreciate beauty and create art? The distinguished Canadian critic Ekbert Faas argues that, with occasional exceptions like Montaigne and Mandeville, the mainstream of western thinking about beauty from Plato onwards has overemphasized the spirit or even execrated the body and sexuality as inimical to the aesthetic disposition. The Genealogy of Aesthetics redresses this imbalance, and offers a radical rereading of seminal thinkers like Plato, Augustine, Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, and Derrida. Professor Faas tells a new and exciting story, of the Platonic inversion of Homeric pagan values, of their absorption into Christian theology and eventual secularization, of Kant's grand reworking of this tradition, of Hegel's prophesy of the death of art in the ultimate triumph of spirit over body; and, finally, of the revival of the aesthetic/ascetic ideal in Heidegger, Derrida and their followers. Faas attacks both the traditional and postmodern consensus, and offers a new prosensualist aesthetics, heavily influenced by Nietzsche, as well as drawing on contemporary neo-Darwinian cognitive science. A work of both polemic and profound learning, The Genealogy of Aesthetics marks a radical new departure in thinking about art which no future work in this field can afford to ignore."--BOOK JACKET.
