"This is a long-awaited collection of essays by one of the most lucid and sensitive of contemporary aestheticians." (William Charlton)"A much needed and much wanted collection of essays by one of the best contemporary minds in the field." (Eva Schaper)
"...written in an untechnical style which will make it accessible to everyone with an interest in, and concern for the arts." (International Newsletter of Aesthetics)
"Diffey's papers consitently are of the highest quality and are a pleasure to read. His philosophical style is understated and undogmatic. I hope that this timely collection will bring his work to the prominence it deserves." (Stephen Davies, The Journal of Aesthtics and Art Criticism)
"This collection of eighteen essays is extremely valuable, not only as an instance of excellent writing in philosophical aesthetics but also as testimony to significant developments in the subject.

(Diané Collinson, British Journal of Aesthetics)
