520    André Malraux was a major figure in French intellectual 
       life in the twentieth century. A key component of his 
       thought is his theory of art which presents a series of 
       fundamental challenges to traditional explanations of the 
       nature and purpose of art developed by post-Enlightenment 
       aesthetics. For Malraux, art - whether visual art, 
       literature or music - is much more than a locus of beauty 
       or a source of "aesthetic pleasure"; it is one of the ways
       humanity defends itself against its fundamental sense of 
       meaninglessness - one of the ways the "human adventure" is
       affirmed. Here for the first time is a comprehensive, step
       by step exposition, supported by illustrations, of 
       Malraux's theory of art as presented in major works such 
       as The Voices of Silence and The Metamorphosis of the Gods
       . Suitable for both newcomers to Malraux and more advanced
       students, the study also examines critical responses to 
       these works by figures such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, 
       Maurice Blanchot, Pierre Bourdieu, and E.H. Gombrich, and 
       compares Malraux's thinking with aspects of contemporary 
       Anglo-American aesthetics. The study reveals that an 
       account of art which Gombrich once dismissed as 
       "sophisticated double-talk" is in reality a thoroughly 
       coherent and highly enlightening system of thought, with 
       revolutionary implications for the way we think about art.
