NOTE

The essays in this collection Problems of Modern Aesthetics written by a team of Soviet specialists deal with the most vital issues in modern aesthetics. They cover such topics as the ideal and the hero in art, the historical development of realism, the scope and limits of realism, tradition and innovation in the arts, the beauty of

nature, and labour as a source of aesthetic feeling. Apart from treating current problems, the collection also offers material on the development of the concept of the popular nature

of art, on

international

and

national

features

of

Soviet culture and discussions which have taken place in Soviet aesthetics on the nature of aesthetic sense. The book is intended for the general reader with an interest in the cultural problems of the present day.
