MOVING TO FRONT FROM JANUARY 22--ADDITIONAL COMMENTS WELCOME
Continuing with our new series about the best introductory texts in various areas of philosophy, I now invite readers to name what they think are the best introductory texts in philosophy of art or aesthetics. As before, don't just name a text, but say something about why you think it's particularly notable or valuable. Although you don't have to sign your comment, I do think signed ones will carry more weight with readers.
ADDENDUM: Suggestions for introductions to specific art forms (e.g., literature, film, theater) are also welcome here.
