The Origins of Aesthetic Thought in Ancient Greece: Matter, Sensation, and Experience
Porter, James I. (University of California, Irvine)
This book traces the origins of aesthetic thought and inquiry across a range of art forms as they evolved from before Homer down to the fourth century and then into later antiquity. It argues that Greek aesthetics originated in an attention to the senses and to matter rather than formalism and idealism.
