Abstract (en)

Newman draws attention to the importance of Venice as an "aesthetic object" in Stokes's philosophy of art. He argues that, in the varied connections which Stokes makes between the experience of works of art and other kinds of experience, the latter are more than "extensions" of the aesthetic attitude. There is a constant reciprocal relationship. Further, the fact that his writings cannot be classified as art history or art criticism or formal philosophical aesthetics gives them particular relevance at this time, when traditional demarcations between disciplines have become increasingly questioned.
