WHAT IS ART? & WHEREIN IS TRUTH IN ART? (Meditations on Aesthetics & Literature) - Exploring the Moral Purpose of True Art

Leo Tolstoy

Traduttore Aylmer Maude, Louise Maude, Nathan Haskell Dole, Isabel Hapgood

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In 'What Is Art? & Wherein Is Truth in Art?', Leo Tolstoy embarks on a profound exploration of aesthetics, challenging conventional definitions of art and its intrinsic value. This rich philosophical discourse blends personal reflection with moral imperatives, culminating in a vision of art that transcends mere beauty to embrace a deeper ethical truth. Tolstoy's literary style is marked by clarity and simplicity, echoing his belief that true art should be accessible to all. Contextually, this work arises from his disillusionment with the art of his time, questioning the societal functions of artistic expression and the artist's moral responsibility. Tolstoy, a titan of literature, drew upon his own tumultuous experiences, including his spiritual crisis and commitment to social justice, to inform his meditations on art. His legacy as a novelist and philosopher is intricately woven into his writings, as he sought to reconcile beauty with ethics, championing art that unites humanity in shared feelings and truths. This quest for understanding reflects his broader existential inquiries, making his insights particularly poignant. This indispensable treatise is recommended for anyone intrigued by the philosophical dimensions of art. It invites readers to reconsider their relationship with artistic expression and the values it embodies, offering a transformative perspective that resonates beyond the confines of its time.

Right This Way - A History of...

Robert Viagas

When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.

The NFT Launch Handbook - From...

Daniel Bowden, Nick Shanahan,...

I know why you're here. You've probably seen some of the influencers online bragging about how they've made millions flipping NFTs, and now they have 30 Lambos! They live in an oceanside mansion and have a private butler who picks out all of the brown m&ms from the packet before serving them. You want to live like that, right? NFTs are your ticket to millions. They have to be! Because you've already tried everything else! Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you should probably not start shopping for Lambos just yet...The truth is that a lot of those projects fail. Just hop on Twitter or discord now, and you'll see them literally begging people to buy or raise the price of their NFTs.It's because they failed to have a plan and like some brilliant person whose name I don't recall right now used to say. "If you fail to plan, you are planning the fail" The brilliant person was Benjamin Franklin btw. Thanks, Google.Lucky for you, that you somehow stumbled upon our little book. So we're going to give you a plan! We're not guaranteeing Lambos just yet; that comes in the final chapter. Just kidding, this is not financial advice, etc., do your own research We've laid this book out in easy to understand format with six different sections. Well, it's technically six after the legal stuff(please don't sue me, bro) and prologue where we introduce ourselves and give you "The Ultimate NFT Glossary" sorry, it's long but trust me, you'll need it before you embark on your journey! So, after that stuff above, you get to the six sections or phases as we like to call them. I would type them all here, but I don't want to spoil the adventure or the table of contents, for that matter! Thanks for even coming to our sales page and for even considering buying our book! The last thing, if you do get a Lambo from following our advice, you're going to have to let me put my kid's car seat in it and take it for a spin! 
See you on the inside!
