Author: WARRY, J.G.,
Title: Greek Aesthetic Theory. A Study of Callistic and Aesthetic Concepts in the Works of Plato and Aristotle.
Description: Methuen, London, 1962. 168p. Cloth wrps. Wrps partly a bit yellowed. 'Warry's purpose is an ambitious one. It is to build up a systematic theory of aesthetics from the relevant material in Plato and Aristotle which will be saner and better balanced than modern theories, and more easily intelligible to the modern student and critic. (?). On the whole I enjoyed reading it, but I am sceptical about the claim that it systematizes the views of Plato and Aristotle and that it offers a solution to many of the problems which still occupy the minds of critics and aestheticians today.' (H.LL. HUDSON-WILLIAMS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1964, p.33-34). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.
