Taste Agamben Giorgio
Our taste buds are a powerful way for humans to know beauty and experience beautiful things. Taking a step into the history of philosophy and reaching to the very origins of aesthetics, Agamben critically recovers the roots of one of Western culture's cardinal concepts. In Taste, Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben takes a close look at why the sense of taste has not historically been appreciated as a means to know and experience pleasure or why it has always been considered inferior to actual theoretical knowledge.Taste, Agamben argues, is a category that has much to reveal to the contemporary world.
This volume will not only engage the author's devoted fans in philosophy, sociology, and Agamben is the rare writer whose ideas and works have a broad appeal across many fields, and with Taste he turns his critical eye to the realm of Western art and aesthetic practice.
