Aesthetics After Metaphysics: From Mimesis to Metaphor

This book engages, at times critically, at times constructively, with a considerable body of material in ancient, modern and contemporary aesthetics. It also engages with the philosophical literature on metaphor, from an analytic as well as continental background, and offers a new perspective on that trope. Finally, it analyses in detail specific works by writers of the modern era and artists from the Renaissance to contemporary abstract art, from the point of view of metaphor.
