PHI165 — Philosophy of Art, Beauty and Creativity
3 Cr. Per Week: 3 Lec. Aesthetic experience is the subject matter of this course. The life experience of artists as well as our own everyday experience will be explored in order to study the meaning and nature of art, beauty, and creativity. Through enquiry into the nature of painting, poetry, film, music, dance, architecture, and other art forms, we will examine the nature of the arts and their significance for us. Readings will cover several of the more important theories of art from Plato to the present.
