Inquiries into the Fundamentals of Aesthetics

For readers ignorant of Polish, this volume of essays by Stefan Morawski comes as a shock, as if a mountain had arisen in the front yard over night. Suddenly a decade of writing, and considerably more than a decade of thinking, is rendered into compact English, and we are confronted with a thoroughly elaborated aesthetic into which Morawski has integrated influences as diverse as analytic philosophy, Russian formalism, Prague linguistics, semiotics, theories of the avant garde, and Marxism. It would be more accurate to say that he has constructed a Marxist aesthetic which takes due account of these other modes of inquiry.
