University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

Subject:

Philosophy

Description:

Continues on a more advanced level the development of a theory of art already begun in the introduction to aesthetics. Themes to be discussed include the nature of form and expression in art, the nondiscussive character of art, the similarities and differences between the artist’s relation to the work of art and the spectators’, the relation between art and subjectivity, the difference between the linguistic and visual arts, the social function of art. The works of a few major philosophers will be compared to give students alternative points of view.
