Description:
In light of this study of modern aesthetics and especially Kant's aesthetic theory put forward in his Critique of Judgement , Chris Martindale urges classicists to use the tradition of philosophy of aesthetics to better effect in their research. Here he applies the theory of modern western aesthetics to the Latin poetry of Catullus, Lucretius, Propertius, Virgil, Horace, Ovid and Lucan. Written for a specialist audience.
