PHRL 21400 Philosophy of Art

GE-Human Culture: Philosophy This course is an introduction to topics relating to art, perceptions of nature, and aesthetic perceptions in general. It examines questions such as: Can art be defined? What is the purpose of art, if any? Is good art always related to ethics? Is art merely subjective, or can we make objective truth claims about art? Can we define any universals in art? What is art’s content: something primarily emotional, or does art possess a content unique to it? Can we distinguish between high art and low art? Emphasis will be on primary readings. Only original sources are used.
