George Dickie

Very well done, and exactly what the title suggests. The history of aesthetics seen from this perspective is rather surprising for someone like myself, but it's exactly what I would expect from an 'analytic approach' to anything: Plato, Aristotle, a few English people you've never heard of from the 18th century; Kant (who was wrong, of course, as all the Germans are (we won't even mention the French)); a few Americans from the twentieth century. The closer to the present Dickie gets, the show more better he is. He's particularly good on himself. show less
