the book mentioned?


when he was in lecture he writes down a books name and its author about killing and art i guess... what was the name o the book and author?

reply

it was Thomas de Quincey, but i am not sure about the book, it should be "Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts"

reply

The de Quincey book is sharp and hilarious, in the vein of Swift's "A Modest Proposal" type stuff. Def. recommend it to any philosphical minded person into aesthetics.
