"In Defense of Humanism is a cool, clear breeze blowing some fairly foul-smelling fog from the corridors of the academy. In scholarly fields marked by obscurity, conformity, and eagerness not to offend, Etlin is willing to walk straight in, speak plainly, and raise the right issues. This is a wonderfully offensive book." Denis Dutton, Philosophy and Literature
In simple, clear language, Richard Etlin articulates the nature of aesthetic experience through analysis of works in a wide variety of media. Through establishing categories for determining value in the arts, Etlin reaffirms the transcendent moral and enduring qualities in great works of art.
