Abstract (en)

Study of the human response to art, calling for redefinition of the concepts of art, aesthetics, and art history. The reviewer draws attention to confusion in Freedberg's theory of cognition and points out complementary fallacies in the notions of a primitive cognition of images as somehow having the status of living bodies and a similarly primitive and unmediated response.
