If an artist sends a live peacock to an exhibition, is it art? \n'What is art?' is a question many of us want answered but are too afraid to ask. It is the very question that Nigel Warburton demystifies in this brilliant and accessible little book. With the help of varied illustrations and photographs, from Cézanne and Francis Bacon to Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst, best-selling author Warburton brings a philosopher's eye to art in a refreshing jargon-free style.\nWith customary clarity, he explains art theories, that are much discussed but little understood, by thinkers such as Clive Bell, R.G Collingwood and Wittgenstein. He illuminates other perplexing problems in art, such as the artist's intention, representation and emotion. Drawing on photographs of Cindy Sherman and Tiananmen Square, Warburton shows that, if we are ever to answer the art question, we must consider each work of art on its own terms.\nA stimulating and handy guide through the art maze, The Art Question is essential reading for anyone interested in art, philosophy or those who simply like looking at and thinking about pictures.

Un saggio che intende guidare il lettore attraverso il labirinto dell'arte contemporanea. Si tratta di arte se un artista espone un pavone vivo o il proprio letto disfatto? L'autore rivolge lo sguardo del filosofo sulle forme d'arte. Partendo dall'idea che l'arte è semplicemente forma significante, prende in considerazione alcune teorie dell'arte molto dibattute ma poco comprese: arte come espressione, il dialogo fra le varie forme artistiche o le più canoniche teorie dell'arte. Chiarendo alcuni problemi connessi con l'espressione artistica, quali l'intenzione dell'artista, la rappresentazione e l'emozione, l'autore dimostra come l'opera d'arte debba essere considerata per se stessa e secondo la relazione che stabilisce con la realtà circostante.

If you're a developer with core Java SE skills, this hands-on book takes you through the language changes in Java 8 triggered by the addition of lambda expressions. You'll learn through code examples, exercises, and fluid explanations how these anonymous functions will help you write simple, clean, library-level code that solves business problems. Lambda expressions are a fairly simple change to Java, and the first part of the book shows you how to use them properly. Later chapters show you how lambda functions help you improve performance with parallelism, write simpler concurrent code, and model your domain more accurately, including building better DSLs.\nUse exercises in each chapter to help you master lambda expressions in Java 8 quickly Explore streams, advanced collections, and other Java 8 library improvements Leverage multicore CPUs and improve performance with data parallelism Use techniques to \"lambdify\" your existing codebase or library code Learn practical solutions for lambda expression unit testing and debugging Implement SOLID principles of object-oriented programming with lambdas Write concurrent applications that efficiently perform message passing and non-blocking I/O

In sette brevi capitoli più un'introduzione, Nigel Warburton intende dare conto di un gran numero di problemi filosofici, di proposte di soluzione e di discussioni, mantenendo al minimo (ma non escludendo) i riferimenti storici. Si incontreranno quindi molti dei temi canonici, quelli con cui siamo abituati ad identificare la filosofia: le dimostrazioni dell'esistenza di Dio (e le loro confutazioni), il bene e il giusto, lo scetticismo e la conoscenza, l'uguaglianza, la democrazia e il liberalismo, il problema dell'induzione, le varie posizioni sul rapporto tra mente e cervello, la questione della definizione dell'arte. Ma anche domande imprevedibili.

‘Philosophy: The Basics deservedly remains the most recommended introduction to philosophy on the market. Warburton is patient, accurate and, above all, clear. There is no better short introduction to philosophy.’ - Stephen Law, author of The Philosophy Gym\n\nPhilosophy: The Basics gently eases the reader into the world of philosophy. Each chapter considers a key area of philosophy, explaining and exploring the basic ideas and themes including:\n\n\n\nCan you prove God exists?\nHow do we know right from wrong?\nWhat are the limits of free speech?\nDo you know how science works?\nIs your mind different from your body?\nCan you define art?\nHow should we treat non-human animals?\n\nFor the fifth edition of this best-selling book, Nigel Warburton has added an entirely new chapter on animals, revised others and brought the further reading sections up to date. If you’ve ever asked ‘what is philosophy?’, or wondered whether the world is really the way you think it is, this is the book for you.
