PHRE 3200 - Philosophy of Art, Literature, and Film

Hours: 3
Focuses on questions that are central to the contemporary discussions of the philosophy of art and aesthetics. Some of the questions that we will consider are: Are aesthetic judgments objective or subjective? Is an authentic work of art of greater artistic value than a forgery of this work? Are sentimental artworks necessarily flawed in some way? Is there something irrational or strange about being moved by fictional characters? Are artworks artistically flawed, if they are morally flawed? Why should we fund public art?
Notes: Eligible to be taken as pass/fail.
