Review of 'Aesthetic Life and Why It Matters' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
We all enjoy (and love to discuss) our experiences with media, cuisine, design, games and more.
Aesthetic pursuits are an integral part of the human experience, this book tries to tell us why from three different points of view.
It’s a textbook meant to be read and discussed in the classroom but I enjoyed reading it outside of that context.
Compared to a few other philosophy texts that I’ve read, the writing was concise. It mostly avoided repeating itself ad nauseum which I appreciated.
I quite enjoyed Nick Riggle’s chapter on food as art because I'm a fan of Nick Riggle's work and I’m also passionate about food.
