(1984), published as Painting as an Art. In 1962, he published an article "A paradox in the theory of democracy",[2] in which Wollheim argued that a supporter of democracy faces a contradiction when he votes. His Art and its Objects was one of the twentieth century's most influential texts on philosophical aesthetics in English. As well as for his work on the philosophy of art, Wollheim was known for his philosophical treatments of depth psychology, especially Sigmund Freud's.[3] His posthumously-published autobiography of youth, Germs: A Memoir of Childhood,[4] with complementary essays, discloses a good deal about his family background and his life up to early manhood, providing valuable material for understanding his interests and sensibility. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4390.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4390.txt
