Abstract

A superior anthology of writings on criticism and its philosophic bases. Six problems are presented. Half a dozen or so selections explore each problem. Levich's lodestar is a conviction that criticism and the philosophy of art are mutually dependent upon one another. Drawing skillfully on the rich fields of contemporary literary and art criticism, he juxtaposes writings of critics and writings of a number of philosophers in such a manner as to highlight themes common to both.--G.
