The Limits Of Art

The Limits of Art (1969) by Huntington Cairns – Princeton University Press
From Crappy Old Books – where philosophy meets foxing.

In The Limits of Art, Huntington Cairns—scholar, classicist, and one-time philosophical consigliere to the U.S. government—tackles the eternal, infuriating question: what is art, and where does it stop being art and start being nonsense? Published in 1969 by Princeton University Press, this thoughtful, occasionally dense, and always earnest exploration fuses aesthetics, ethics, and a hefty dose of Platonic reflection.

Perfect for anyone who enjoys their cultural theory with a touch of old-school gravitas and a whiff of pipe smoke. Our copy has edge wear, academic aura, and just enough yellowing to make it feel important.
