Flint Schier argues to the contrary that depiction involves resemblance to the things depicted.This book presents an original theory of the nature of pictorial representation. The most influential recent theory of depiction put forward by Nelson Goodman holds that the relation between depictions and what they represent is entirely conventional. Flint Schier argues to the contrary that depiction involves resemblance to the things depicted providing a sophisticated defence of our basic intuitions on the subject. Canvassing an attractive theory of generativity rather than resemblance Dr Schier provides a detailed account of depiction showing how it illuminates and resolves many of the enigmas of pictorial representation while remaining true to our basic intuitions on the subject. Philosophers psychologists and art theorists will find this a sophisticated and stimulating treatment of one of the central topics in aesthetics.Preface: 1. The enigma of depiction: 2.
