Social Appearances – A Philosophy of Display and Prestige: Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism, and the Arts

Autor Barbara Carnevali
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 oct 2020
In this strikingly original book, Barbara Carnevali offers a philosophical examination of the roles that appearances play in social life. While Western metaphysics and morals have predominantly disdained appearances and expelled them from their domain, Carnevali invites us to look at society, ancient to contemporary, as an aesthetic phenomenon.
