Book Synopsis The Ideology of the Aesthetic by : Terry Eagleton
Download or read book The Ideology of the Aesthetic written by Terry Eagleton and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1991-01-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ideology of the Aesthetic presents a history and critique of the concept of the aesthetic throughout modern Western thought. As such, this is a critical survey of modern Western philosophy, focusing in particular on the complex relations between aesthetics, ethics and politics. Eagleton provides a brilliant and challenging introduction to these concerns, as characterized in the work of Kant, Schiller, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Heidegger, Lukacs, Adorno, Habermas, and others. Wide in span, as well as morally and politically committed, this is Terry Eagleton's major work to date. It forms both an original enquiry and an exemplary introduction.
Book Synopsis Freedom and Nature in Schelling's Philosophy of Art by : Devin Zane Shaw
Download or read book Freedom and Nature in Schelling's Philosophy of Art written by Devin Zane Shaw and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schelling is often thought to be a protean thinker whose work is difficult to approach or interpret. Devin Zane Shaw shows that the philosophy of art is the guiding thread to understanding Schelling's philosophical development from his early works in 1795-1796 through his theological turn in 1809-1810. Schelling's philosophy of art is the 'keystone' of the system; it unifies his idea of freedom and his philosophy of nature. Schelling's idea of freedom is developed through a critique of the formalism of Kant's and Fichte's practical philosophies, and his nature-philosophy is developed to show how subjectivity and objectivity emerge from a common source in nature. The philosophy of art plays a dual role in the system. First, Schelling argues that artistic activity produces through the artwork a sensible realization of the ideas of philosophy. Second, he argues that artistic production creates the possibility of a new mythology that can overcome the socio-political divisions that structure the relationships between individuals and society. Shaw's careful analysis shows how art, for Schelling, is the highest expression of human freedom.

Book Synopsis Anywhere or Not at All by : Peter Osborne
Download or read book Anywhere or Not at All written by Peter Osborne and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new reading of the philosophy of contemporary art by the author of The Politics of Time Contemporary art is the object of inflated and widely divergent claims. But what kind of discourse can open it up effectively to critical analysis? Anywhere or Not at All is a major philosophical intervention in art theory that challenges the terms of established positions through a new approach at once philosophical, historical, social and art-critical. Developing the position that “contemporary art is postconceptual art,” the book progresses through a dual series of conceptual constructions and interpretations of particular works to assess the art from a number of perspectives: contemporaneity and its global context; art against aesthetic; the Romantic pre-history of conceptual art; the multiplicity of modernisms; transcategoriality; conceptual abstraction; photographic ontology; digitalization; and the institutional and existential complexities of art-space and art-time. Anywhere or Not at All maps out the conceptual space for an art that is both critical and contemporary in the era of global capitalism.

Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Art History (Routledge Revivals) by : Arnold Hauser
Download or read book The Philosophy of Art History (Routledge Revivals) written by Arnold Hauser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1959, this book is concerned with the methodology of art history, and so with questions about historical thinking; it enquires what scientific history of art can accomplish, what are its mean and limitations? It contains philosophical reflections on history and begins with chapters on the scope and limitations of a sociology of art, and the concept of ideology in the history of art. The chapter on the concept of "art history without names" occupies the central position in the book — thoroughly discussing the basic philosophical outlook for the whole work. There are also further chapters on psychoanalysis, folk art and popular art. The chapter on the role of convention in the history of art points the way for further study.
Book Synopsis Althusser and Art by : Jonathan R Fardy
Download or read book Althusser and Art written by Jonathan R Fardy and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Althusser and Art offers a reading of Althusserianism as a meta-mediation on the question concerning the aesthetics of theory. Fardy shows that Althusserian theory is part of a larger genealogy of thought, stretching from Korsch through Laruelle, that has been primarily concerned with the search for a form of theory, an aesthetic of theorizing, capable of transcending the theory-practice dialectic.

Book Synopsis Heidegger, Art, and Postmodernity by : Iain D. Thomson
Download or read book Heidegger, Art, and Postmodernity written by Iain D. Thomson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-29 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heidegger, Art, and Postmodernity offers a radical new interpretation of Heidegger's later philosophy, developing his argument that art can help lead humanity beyond the nihilistic ontotheology of the modern age. Providing pathbreaking readings of Heidegger's 'The Origin of the Work of Art' and his notoriously difficult Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowning), this book explains precisely what postmodernity meant for Heidegger, the greatest philosophical critic of modernity, and what it could still mean for us today. Exploring these issues, Iain D. Thomson examines several postmodern works of art, including music, literature, painting and even comic books, from a post-Heideggerian perspective. Clearly written and accessible, this book will help readers gain a deeper understanding of Heidegger and his relation to postmodern theory, popular culture and art.

Book excerpt: Ideology and Art presents theories of mass culture of interest to political scientists, sociologists, philosophers, scholars of literature and general readers.

It takes a new position on how art popularizes political figures, images and ideas.
Book Synopsis Merleau-Ponty and the Art of Perception by : Duane H. Davis
Download or read book Merleau-Ponty and the Art of Perception written by Duane H. Davis and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers and artists consider the relevance of Maurice Merleau-Pontys philosophy for understanding art and aesthetic experience. This collection of essays brings together diverse but interrelated perspectives on art and perception based on the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Although Merleau-Ponty focused almost exclusively on painting in his writings on aesthetics, this collection also considers poetry, literary works, theater, and relationships between art and science. In addition to philosophers, the contributors include a painter, a photographer, a musicologist, and an architect. This widened scope offers important philosophical benefits, testing and providing evidence for the empirical applicability of Merleau-Pontys aesthetic writings. The central argument is that for Merleau-Ponty the account of perception is also an account of art and vice versa. In the philosophers writings, art and perception thus intertwine necessarily rather than contingently such that they can only be distinguished by abstraction. As a result, his account of perception and his account of art are organic, interdependent, and dynamic. The contributors examine various aspects of this intertwining across different artistic media, each ingeniously revealing an original perspective on this intertwining.

Book Synopsis Art Rethought by : Nicholas Wolterstorff
Download or read book Art Rethought written by Nicholas Wolterstorff and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most philosophers of art of the modern period have concentrated their attention on engaging works of the arts as objects of disinterested aesthetic attention, and on the works that reward that modern of engagement, virtually ignoring the many other ways in which we engage works of the arts. The argument of this book is that it is important for philosophers to expand their attention and discuss as well the more important of those other ways in which we engage works of the arts. After discussing in some detail the main reason why philosophers have not done this, and explaining why this reason should be rejected, the book presents a conceptual framework for discussing the many ways in which we engage works of the arts. The book then employs this framework to discuss, in detail, memorial art, art for veneration, social protest art, work songs, and a recent development in high art, art-reflexive art. The book closes with some reflections on the role of beauty and justice in art in general."--Publisher's description.
