Features: This book is a representative work of American new pragmatist aesthetics. It revives the pragmatic philosophical tradition of the United States, placing pragmatism between the contentious analytical philosophy and deconstructionism. It advances contemporary Western mainstream thought by reconciling the contradictions between the two. The author provides a strong theoretical defense of popular art and points out new ethical forms, known as aesthetic ethics or taste ethics.
