Excellent- More about Space that Separates: A Realist Theory of Art
The Space that Separates: A Realist Theory of Art presents a realist case for living artfully, defining art as the skilled practice of giving shareable form to our experiences of being-in-relation with the real. It argues for a paradigm shift in how we understand and care for culture in terms of our system(s) of value recognition and offers novel explanatory accounts of art, aesthetic experience, value, play, culture, creativity, artistic truth and beauty.

The Space that Separates: A Realist Theory of Art presents a groundbreaking perspective on the nature and significance of art, challenging prevailing assumptions and offering a fresh understanding of its role in our lives. Rejecting the narrow view that art is solely the creation of artists, author Richard Wilson presents a realist perspective that sees art as the skilled practice of giving form to our experiences of being in relation to the real world. This includes the vast and complex domain of causally generative relations, structures, mechanisms, possibilities, powers, processes, systems, forces, values, ways of being that extend beyond our direct observation. Through the communication of aesthetic experiences, we come to perceive the space that separates us, recognizing our interconnectedness and understanding ourselves as part of a larger whole.
Aesthetic Critical Realism (ACR), a comprehensive account of art and aesthetics from a critical realist perspective, is the foundation of Wilson's argument. He advocates for a significant shift in our understanding and care for culture, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and valuing the artistic truth and beauty that permeate our lives. This book appeals to a wide audience, including students and scholars of art, aesthetics, human development, philosophy, critical realism, cultural practitioners, and policy-makers.
In ACR, Wilson offers novel explanatory accounts of art, aesthetic experience, value, play, culture, creativity, artistic truth, and beauty. He explores how art can serve as a tool for cultural transformation, fostering a deeper appreciation for the world and promoting social justice and equality. By embracing a realist theory of art, we can gain a new perspective on the role of art in shaping our lives and the world around us, and develop a more meaningful and fulfilling relationship with the arts.
