Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy that examines the nature of art, the character of our experience of art and of the natural environment, and how these experiences shape out attitudes and spirit. Aesthetics seeks to know how the sensory experiences of les beaux arts (painting, poetry, sculpture, music, dance, performance, literature, film, photography, architecture, mass/popular art, etc.) and their attendant feelings inspire an apppreciation (or disapproval) within us. The cental issue of aesthetics has historically been the the definition of "art" and "beauty;" thus aesthetics walks a tightrope between relative/universal, subjective/objective, and cultural criteria. In this seminar course, students will enter into the philosophical fray as they read and discuss classical and contemporary sources regarding the nature of art.

This course studies the classical origins of two distinct, yet interwoven, ways of thinking about knowledge, wisdom, and the worlds around us. The terms "mythos" and "logos" reflect two avenues towards "the truth" we have inherited from ancient Greek culture; they refer, respectively, to imaginative thought forms in cultural mythology/epic poetry/art, and to objective methods of deduction and induction through logic, mathematics, and the scientific study of nature. Our method will involve close reading, analysis, and the overall application of imagination and reason to early Greek mythology, philosophy, science, and mathematics. Having understood these founding principles in ancient Greek culture, we then move to the study of contemporary philosophical analysis of the roles of mythos and logos in our present social and scientific contexts and practices, gaining insight into how these thought forms contribute to the evolving human "Lifeworld". In addition, students will have the option
