    Book, Oxford Univ Pr, 2009
  • Description

    “Beauty can be consoling, disturbing, sacred, profane,” writes Roger Scruton. Can there be dangerous beauties, corrupting beauties, and immoral beauties? But while we may argue about what is or is not beautiful, Scruton insists that beauty is a real and universal value, one anchored in our rational nature, and that the sense of beauty has an indispensable part to play in shaping the human world.

    Marjorie Garber
  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 2008

    In this provocative book, Marjorie Garber looks at the history of patronage, explains how patronage has elevated and damaged the arts in modern culture, and argues for the university as a serious patron of the arts. With clarity and wit, Garber supports rethinking prejudices that oppose art’s role in higher education, rejects assumptions of inequality between the sciences and humanities, and points to similarities between the making of fine art and the making of good science.
