LARTS 371 - Philosophy of Art

Institution:

The New England Conservatory of Music

Subject:

Description:

We will analyze various thinkers' responses to the primary questions in the philosophy of art, such as: What distinguishes art from non-art, or music from repetitive sounds? Who determines what is or is not art? Do the arts have an ethical function? How do abstract works convey meaning? We will also attempt to apply their theories to particular pieces, which should help you think more carefully about your work as musicians. (2 credits) Breese
