Book recommendations about philisophy in the arts
I'm new to philosophy and our exam is to write a paper. We had to compare on 5 written pages two texts with each other and enrich our reflection with one art philosophical book own. So my question is (since i'm completely new to philosophy) what book i should pick for this exam.
These are the texts i chose:
1. Aristotles poetics - Critical problems and their solutions
2. Immanuel Kant - the critique of judgement
Thank you,
-Eric

If you are talking about general philosophy, then I always highly recommend "History Of Western Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell.
BUT IF you are talking about art, as in painting, sculpture, etc., then this topic falls within "aesthetics" in philosophy. So then you would want to find a book on "aesthetics."
FYI.
