Sinopsis

This book details the history of the concept of the beautiful, starting with a distinction between the ',warm', metaphysics of beauty and the ',cold', one modeled on Plato',s Janus-faced relationship to beauty, and ending with a fragmented yet hopeful vision propagated by the likes of Nietzsche, Benjamin, and Adorno. The most important intellectual figures to write about beauty in Western metaphysics and in the post-metaphysical age are examined in this book.
