Publisher's Synopsis
What discussions from philosophy should be brought to the aesthetics of dance? Approaches to philosophical aesthetics for dance should consider the various agencies of dance-maker (the choreographer), dance-instantiator (the dancer) and observer and commentator on dances (dance-audiences, but also dance critics). Here, Graham McFee offers a framework for the philosophical investigation of dance aesthetics by drawing on concepts from the philosophy of action crucial for making sense of dance.
