The course is an inquiry into historical and contemporary philosophical perspectives on the making, interpreting, and criticizing of works of art, including relations of the arts to other dimensions of culture. Students will wrestle with foundational questions (e.g. "What is art?", "What is beauty?", "What makes good art good?", "Is there a right way to interpret art?") and explore the distinction between public art and street art, as well as art's connection to political communities, divisions, and struggle. Students will also experience and evaluate art in light of these investigations. (Cross-listed with PHIL 8225)
Prerequisite(s): Junior or 3 credits in philosophy.
