Frontiers of pleasure : models of aesthetic response in archaic and classical Greek thought

by Anastasia-Erasmia Peponi

Examining the origins of aesthetic thought in ancient Greece, this book analyses how auditory pleasure in poetry and music was conceptualised. Through close readings of classical texts, it challenges modern assumptions to offer an alternative framework for the field.

brief_description
Frontiers of Pleasure calls into question a number of influential modern notions regarding aesthetics by going back to the very beginnings of aesthetic thought in Greece and raising critical issues regarding conceptions of how one responds to the beautiful. Anastasia-Erasmia Peponi argues that although the Greek language had no formal term equivalent to the "aesthetic," the notion was deeply rooted in Greek thought. Her analysis centers on a dominant aspect of beauty--the aural--associated with a highly influential sector of culture that comprised both poetry and instrumental music, the "activity of the Muses," or mousikê.
