Summary
Ivan Focht: The Truth and Being of Art
essay book »The Truth and Being of Art by Ivan Focht brings works from the field of general aesthetics (as a philosophical discipline) and two special aesthetics (aesthetics of literature and aesthetics of music). The essays in this book are written vividly and logically convincingly, based on knowledge of recent literature on aesthetic issues. Essays and debates have, first of all, the main value in that the author tries to develop and enrich the Marxist aesthetic conception with knowledge provided by newer, modern artistic achievements, to free that conception from some narrow dogmatic limitations, and at the same time not to betray its basic materialist philosophical orientation.
