Emotion and expression are key themes in this course which explores ideas from Romanticism through to the mid-twentieth century. Major thinkers whose work we will examine include Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Collingwood, Benjamin and Heidedgger. Each week we will discuss a reading from Cahn and Meskin eds. Aesthetics: A Comprehensive Anthology (Blackwell, 2008). You will also have the opportunity to think about particular works in the Tate Modern collection in relation to these ideas.
