The essays in The Insistence of Art suggest ways in which the artworks and practices of the early modern period show the essentiality of aesthetic experience for philosophical reflection, and in particular for the rise of aesthetics as a philosophical discipline, while also showing art’s need for philosophy.

Dante and Ficino, Donne and Shakespeare, Bellori and Caravaggio, Goya and Pater-with Herder, Hegel, Paul de Man and Kierkeegard making memorable cameos-populate an early modernity that looks ahead to modernism." -- -Andrei Pop University of Chicago "A superb and timely collection-rigorous wide-ranging essays demonstrating some of the most compelling trends in their respective fields. It's the sort of collection that gives substance and urgency to interdisciplinary thinking." -- -Christopher Pye Williams College
