Art, Self and Knowledge [PDF ebook] 

This book argues that a special value of art is the way in which it uses conscious experience — the exemplars of aesthetic experience — to autonomously reconfigure how we conceive of our world and ourselves, ourselves in our world and our world in ourselves. Exemplar representation ties are and science, mind and body, self and world together in a dynamic loop reconfiguring them all as it reconfigures itself.
