- Summary
- Aesthetic Theory, Abstract Art and Lawrence Carroll' explores the philosophical implications of the practice of art making, illustrating the intricate relationship between aesthetic theory and contemporary art through the work of the abstract painter, Lawrence Carroll. Beginning with a historical discussion of the critics and philosophers Clement Greenberg, Michael Fried, Arthur Danto and Joachim Pissarro, David Carrier compares and contrasts their philosophical writings on painting. He considers why questions about aesthetics and the essence of a painting generated philosophical disagreements.
