Our world, increasingly defined by efficient but unconsidered architecture and cities, seems to be getting uglier. In On the Appearance of the World, Mark Foster Gage asks why. He imagines a future scenario where architectural design and ideas from aesthetic philosophy align toward the production of a built world that is more humane, habitable, beautiful, and just.
Portions of the chapter “The Appearance of Aesthetics” were published in a different form in the Introduction to Aesthetics Equals Politics: New Discourses across Art, Architecture, and Philosophy, ed. Mark Foster Gage, 1–23 (Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2023).
