|At its heart, Pasztory's thesis is simple and yet profound. She asserts that humans create things (some of which modern Western society chooses to call |art|) in order to work out our ideas - that is, we literally think with things. Pasztory draws on examples from many societies to argue that the art-making impulse is primarily cognitive and only secondarily aesthetic. She demonstrates that |art| always reflects the specific social context in which it is created, and that as societies become more complex, their art becomes more rarefied.|--Jacket.
