Biederman argues that art is not merely a form of aesthetic expression but is central to the evolution of human understanding itself. He proposes that artistic creation reflects a profound cognitive process, where perception and the structuring of reality evolve together. The book challenges traditional notions of art history and aesthetics, suggesting instead that art progresses through a dialectical process that mirrors scientific methods and discoveries. Biederman discusses the implications of viewing art through this analytical lens, including how it can lead to broader and more dynamic forms of knowledge. His thesis emphasizes the intrinsic value of art as a tool for cognitive development and innovation, offering a compelling framework for understanding the continuous transformation and significance of art in society. ; Folio; xiv, 696 pages.
