Summary note

This volume is about how and whether art can be morally bad (or morally good). Politicians, media pundits, and others frequently complain that particular works of art are morally dangerous, or, sometimes, that particular works are morally edifying (the 'great works' of literature, for example). But little attention is often given to the question of what makes art morally good in the first place. This comprehensive volume explores a wide variety of historical and theoretical perspectives, looking at different art forms and different problems.
