PHIL070 PO - Art and Aesthetics

When Offered: Spring 2016.
Instructor(s): L. Perini
Credit: 1

The course will focus on issues concerning the nature of art and its value. Issues include the role of interpretation in determining the meaning of artworks; the question of whether forgery that is visually identical to an original work has less aesthetic—value and if so, why; and problems arising from certain kinds of artworks, like why we have emotional responses to fictional characters and whether it is rational to do so.
