Aesthetics: A Reader in Philosophy of the Arts, fourth edition, contains a selection of ninety-six readings organized by individual art forms as well as a final section of readings in philosophical aesthetics that cover multiple art forms. Sections include topics that are familiar to students such as painting, photography and movies, architecture, music, literature, and performance, as well as contemporary subjects such as mass art, popular arts, the aesthetics of the everyday, and the natural environment. Essays are drawn from both the analytic and continental traditions, and multiple others that bridge this divide between these traditions. Throughout, readings are brief, accessible for undergraduates, and conceptually focused, allowing instructors many different syllabi possibilities using only this single volume. Key Additions to the Fourth Edition The fourth edition is expanded to include a total of ninety-six essays with nineteen new essays (nine of them written exclusively for this volume), updated organization into new sections, revised introductions to each section, an increased emphasis on contemporary topics, such as stand-up comedy, the architecture of museums, interactivity and video games, the ethics of sexiness, trans/gendered beauty, the aesthetics of junkyards and street art, pornography, and the inclusion of more diverse philosophical voices. Nevertheless, this edition does not neglect classic writers in the traditional aesthetics: Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Collingwood, Bell, and writers of similar status in aesthetics. The philosophers writing new chapters exclusively for this fourth edition are: • Sondra Bacharach on street art • Aili Bresnahan on appreciating dance • Hina Jamelle on digital architecture • Jason Leddington on magic • Sheila Lintott on stand-up comedy • Yuriko Saito on everyday aesthetics • Larry Shiner on art spectacle museums in the twenty-first century • Peg Brand Weiser on how beauty matters • Edward Winters on the feeling of being at home in vernacular architecture, as in such urban places as bars.
Annabel’s deal has sent ripples through not just the afterlife, but all three planes–merging life, death, and the hereafter. Annabel has brought Hell to Earth, but Jess isn’t going to just let that happen, and with the help of Eddie and Marcel, will do what she must to prevent the worst from happening. However, whose side is Adira on, and will anything make her worthy of forgiveness in Jess’ eyes?
Hell and Earth collide as the denizens of each realm coexist in complete chaos! The deal between Annabel and Adira has had cataclysmic consequences–ones that even with an army, Jess struggles to control. However, in order to set things right, is Jess ready to put herself in a role she never expected? Is she even willing to?
As the highly anticipated second arc continues, Jess’s means of moving between the world of the living and the realm of the dead has gone awry. When everyone becomes marked for death but no one is dying, the consequences could be catastrophic!

Jessica Harrow has no other options but to raise an army, but it may be too late as Annabel’s powers grow even stronger, and The End could decide to make an appearance at any time...
