The Philosophy of Art: Plato to the Postmodern Course/Class August 4, 2011

This course explores the idea that art is not marginal to human concerns, but a key element in emotional, social and psychological life. Many philosophers have proposed that art is not only the highest human achievement but an essential realm which allows humans to imaginatively reconstruct themselves and the worlds they inhabit. From Greek tragedy to Postmodern art and contemporary film we will explore the human drive not only to live life, but to make representations of it. Details of this event may be subject to change.
