PHIL 260 - Philosophy of Art

Institution:

Felician University

Subject:

Description:

This course offers an introduction to the phi-losophical issues that arise as we reflect upon art. For instance, what makes something a work of art? What is an aesthetic experience? What relationship is there between artists and their works? Are objective judgments of art possible? In exploring answers to these ques-tions, we will survey the ideas of thinkers such as: Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Tolstoy, Dewey, Bell, Collingwood, Goodman, and Danto. A wide variety of illustrations - from music, lite-rature, film, painting, etc. - will also be in-cluded. (fall, spring)
