PY2005 Philosophy and the Arts

PY2005 Philosophy and the Arts (½ unit, Spring)

Assessment: Coursework: Essay, 3,000 – 3,500 Words (100%)

The course will expose students to current philosophical debates in aesthetics, including questions about the nature and value of art; the roles of intention, imagination and interpretation; and the emotional and ethical responses they provoke. Although theoretically informed, each weekly presentation will be grounded in a discussion of one or more artistic or cultural objects, be it a play, poem, musical composition, film or one of the myriad other forms of creative expression.
