Recenzii
The book glides across analytic aesthetics, taking in large swathes of its terrain at altitude and dropping down often to scrutinize its many landmarks. Maes is its affable and erudite pilot, expertly accelerating and slowing as the topography demands, adjusting elevation where the air gets too rarefied, and radioing back to the control tower okay, metaphors have to end somewhere, but you get the idea.
Maes's questions and comments are exceptionally well-informed, and he draws on a rich stock of artistic examples, whether to illustrate his points or to provide a challenging case to think about. ... While a few of the discussions were via email, most, Maes notes in his introduction, were conducted in person and taped. Maes has transcribed these recordings and edited them considerably so that they read with concision and focus. But he has nonetheless kept a bit of the fluidity of informal speech. The conversations are divided into useful sub-sections, and good guidance is given as to relevant further reading at the end of each discussion. ... Maes showed strong philosophical judgment throughout, but managed to temper this well with an admirable objectivity and open-mindedness ... this is a fine book, and a worthwhile genre for publishers to explore further."
"This excellent book isn't made up of a series of simple interviews, either in the goal-directed sense of the term, nor in the format. Instead, it consists of what one might call 'curated conversations' between a series of philosophers and a distinctive mind eager to tease out and explore both points of contact and contradiction in the work of his interlocutors. I highly recommend reading it. Engaging with the arguments and discussions offered will be rewarding to anyone with an interest not only in art but philosophy in general."
