The Forms of Things Unknown

The Forms of Things Unknown: Essays Towards an Aesthetic Philosophy is a collection of essays written by the British philosopher and literary critic, Herbert Read. The book explores the nature of art and aesthetics, and the ways in which they shape our understanding of the world around us. Read draws on a wide range of sources, from classical philosophy to modern art, to explore the fundamental principles that underlie our experience of beauty and creativity. He argues that art is not simply a matter of personal taste or preference, but is rooted in a deeper understanding of the human condition and our relationship to the natural world. Through his essays, Read invites readers to consider the ways in which art can enrich our lives and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world we inhabit. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of art and aesthetics, and its relevance to our lives today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
