Introduction to his philosophy; a walkthrough to his works defining the most important concepts and formulating the necessary questions that will be answered. The keystone unabridged works of Oscar Wilde about his philosophy "The Art of Lying" (1889), "The Critic as Artist" (1891) and "The Soul of a Man"(1891).

First of all, what are æsthetics? The hallmark of a band led by Oscar Wilde who committed many whimsical extravagances? We present a comprehensive and complete view of the philosophy of art and life of Wilde, which will answer in his witty and stylish way fundamental questions as: "Is lying a fundamental principle of Art?," "Must there be a divorce between Ethics and Aesthetics?" And "Ought we, beneath the flowery mask of a borrowed smile, allow ourselves to be carried away by all the waves of instinct?" "I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."
