Course Description:
Content Particularly since the start of the 18th century, philosophers began to reflect on the question of art resulting in the emergence of ‘aesthetics’ as an independent philosophical discipline. This has resulted in the formation of various theories of and perspectives on the ‘nature’ of art – from the theory of mimesis to expression theories; from formalism to post-structuralism, and beyond. The emergence of these perspectives are linked with the role of art in society and culture, and influence the criteria under which art is created, produced and consumed. In contemporary modernity questions on the status and legitimation of the arts are still pressing given the rise of theories about the post-postmodern, including metamodernism. In this course, various philosophers and their aesthetic theories will be discussed – e.g. Plato, Aristotle, Baudrillard, DantoHegel, Kant, Lyotard, and Nietzsche – as well as that their theories will be illustrated with reference to examples
