New social realities and changes in contemporary art are impacting our traditional ideas about aesthetics. Art, art markets and aesthetics now interact in ways that demand new forms of thought. 'Cosmopolitan Aesthetics' presents the first thorough account of the challenges facing aesthetics today, introducing the history that underpins them.
