Ranging from Kant himself to contemporary debates, from song to conceptual art, from ethics to atheism, from function to failure, Aaron Ridley explores the ways in which the one-off character of creativity and judgement may defy our ordinary expectations of what an explanation should be like. Intended equally for specialists and students, this collection offers a distinctive approach to aesthetics that will be of interest to any reader concerned with philosophical reflection upon the arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron Ridley, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, University of Southampton\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEducated at the universities of York (BA) and Cambridge (PhD), Aaron Ridley has taught at UCNW Bangor, Ithaca College, NY, and, since 1994, the University of Southampton.
