PHI 509 - Special Seminar in Aesthetics

This is an advanced seminar in aesthetics that focuses on a single question that arises in the philosophy of art. This question may be approached through the writings of a single author, or else by consulting texts of several thinkers (including practicing artists as well as philosophers). Examples of such questions would be: What is the place of form in art? How does emotion figure into the creation or appreciation of art? To be taught on the main campus by a regular faculty member. Ideally, this course would be taken during the second year of master’s degree work at Stony Brook Manhattan.
