""This is the best wide-ranging collection of philosophical writings on art that I've found, and I would highly recommend it to other professors teaching undergraduate or graduate classes in aesthetics or related courses."" — Andy Amato, University of Texas at Dallas ""Art and Its Significance is wide-ranging, covering texts from the history of Western philosophy from Plato through contemporary thinkers. I like that there are so many different options in the text. That variety and diversity frees professors to design courses in a variety of ways, using the 'same' textbook to support a number of different courses. I would recommend (and have recommended) the text to others for use in their classes."" — Anne J. Mamary, Monmouth College, Illinois
