What is art? and How should we understand art? are two key questions explored in this course which ranges from examination of ideas from Arthur Danto through to Kendall Walton and other thinkers in the Anglo-American analytic tradition in the philosophy of art.
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.
