Zangwill draws on Kant's notion of subjective universality and unfolds the thesis that the pleasure in beauty is disinterestedness. He discusses the interests in the agreeable and the good, takes into account empirical and intellectual interests in beauty and considers beauty's contribution to society, sociability and morality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough close readings of \u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c\/i\u003e, Zangwill presents a critical evaluation of Kant's theory and the aspects which we should still be accepting and those which should be abandoned. This is a needed, comprehensive examination of disinterestedness that effectively engages with recent literature from both contemporary aesthetics and Kant scholarship, bridging the gap between the two fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNick Zangwill \u003c\/b\u003eis Honorary Research Fellow in the Philosophy Department at University College London and Visiting Professor in the Philosophy Department University of Lincoln, UK.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 March 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350543881\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51197822599308,"sku":"9781350543881","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350543881","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
