Excerpt: ...absolute work of Art, which is the highest of all, is that in which the individual mind, although finite, rising to the consciousness of the infinite within itself, at once receives theoretically into itself the whole ideal content of the Beautiful, as presented in the objective work of Art, and at the same time again reproduces it out of itself. The mind thus becomes one with the active, living power and idea of the Beautiful. This is the highest stage and condition of mind attainable in Art. It is the absolute and perfect union of practical design and theoretical contemplation, as realised in the spiritual creations of poetry, the highest of the Arts. It thus combines in principle and essence the lower utilitarian and objective forms. The work of Art, as such, furnishes the highest and purest pleasure, involving as it does a perfect activity realising its own end, and bringing with it the repose of the spirit in theoretical contemplation. 2. A further distinction in the Beautiful, rests upon the relation of the embodied ideal or spiritual idea to the material in which it is represented. Here the differences are determined by the predominance of the one or the other of the two sides; or by their being in equal proportion, so that there is a relation of equality and balance between them. In connection with this second distinction of the Beautiful, we have the historical development of Art, and this unfolds the different forms of Art.--First, the work of Art appears in a purely external and direct form, --the Beautiful being exhibited mainly in material objects. The thought or subjective ideal is, indeed, present; but it is in a manner sunk in the material, and is often exhibited only as an ornamentation on the form of the object. This..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Art: An Introduction to the Scientific Study of AEsthetics Notwithstanding all that has been lately so well said of this modern Sphinx, as he still sits in placid contem platica by the busy highway of contemporary thought, and notwithstanding all that has been so patiently and perseveringly done to penetrate into the strange deep riddle of his proposing, it has been well-nigh overlooked, in our haste and perplexity and self-forgetfulness, how the solution of his enigma is to be most easily divined, or where it is even to be seen in letters of light, so plainly inscribed over the holiest mysteries by the consecrating hand of Art, that he who reads may run. It is more than time we should be turning from the etherial aridities and the unnavigable seas of darkness in Hegel's Dialectic - whatever be its ultimate value - to the brightness and warmth of his own free world of beauty. Owe it to the great thinker himself, who has been too long exposed to the inane mockery of shallow witlings and the revengeful hatred of ba led sciolists: And, above all, we owe it to ourselves, who need, ever more urgently, the aid of his strength and light and guidance in this sphere of ideal aspiration, where, at the best, our movement is but weak and dubious and slow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised in its original edition for its up-to-date, rigorous presentation of current debates and for the clarity of its presentation, Robert Stecker's new edition of Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art preserves the major themes and conclusions of the original, while expanding its content, providing new features, and enhancing accessibility. Stecker introduces students to the history and evolution of aesthetics, and also makes an important distinction between aesthetics and philosophy of art. While aesthetics is the study of value, philosophy of art deals with a much wider array of questions including issues in metaphysics, epistemology, the philosophy of mind, as well value theory. Described as a 'remarkably unified introduction to many contemporary debates in aesthetics and the philosophy of art,' Stecker specializes in sympathetically laying bear the play of argument that emerges as competing views on a topic engage each other. This book does not simply present a controversy in its current state of play, but instead demonstrates a philosophical mind at work helping to advance the issue toward a solution.
Download or read book Naturalized Aesthetics written by Richard A. Richards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-29 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges the gap between the many insights into art provided by research in evolutionary theory, psychology and neuroscience and those enduring normative issues best addressed by philosophy. The sciences have helped us understand how art functions, our art preferences, and the neurological systems underlying our engagement with art. But we continue to rely on philosophy to tell us what is truly good in art, how we should engage with art, and the conceptual basis for this engagement. Naturalized Aesthetics: A Scientific Framework for the Philosophy of Art integrates a systematic and comprehensive naturalism, grounded in the sciences, with an "ecology" of art. It shows how the environments in which we make and experience art – our "engineered art niches" – affect the practice and experience of art and generate normativity – the goods and the shoulds – in our engagement with art. There are, in effect, two "streams" of normativity, according to this book: a niche-dependent, social, impersonal and objective stream and a niche-independent, individual, personal and subjective stream. Recognition of these two streams allows us to make progress in long-standing and unresolved philosophical disputes about how to interpret, evaluate and conceive art. Key Features: Provides a structured and critical introduction to the scientific accounts of art based on evolutionary thinking, psychology and neuroscience. Develops an "ecology" of art based on the insight that we engage with art in engineered niches. Presents a naturalistic account of normativity based on the recognition of two streams: a niche-dependent, social, impersonal and objective stream; and a niche-independent, individual, personal and subjective stream. Serves as an introduction and critical analysis of the debates about the interpretation, evaluation and definitions of art.
Download or read book Aesthetics and the Sciences of Mind written by Greg Currie and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through much of the twentieth century, philosophical thinking about works of art, design, and other aesthetic products has emphasized intuitive and reflective methods, often tied to the idea that philosophy's business is primarily to analyze concepts. This 'philosophy from the armchair' approach contrasts with methods used by psychologists, sociologists, evolutionary thinkers, and others who study the making and reception of the arts empirically. How far should philosophers be sensitive to the results of these studies? Is their own largely a priori method basically flawed? Are their views on aesthetic value, interpretation, imagination, and the emotions of art to be rethought in the light of best science? The essays in this volume seek answers to these questions, many through detailed studies of problems traditionally regarded as philosophical but where empirical inquiry seems to be shedding interesting light. No common view is looked for or found in this volume: a number of authors argue that the current enthusiasm for scientific approaches to aesthetics is based on a misunderstanding of the philosophical enterprise and sometimes on misinterpretation of the science; others suggest various ways that philosophy can and should accommodate and sometimes yield to the empirical approach. The editors provide a substantial introduction which sets the scene historically and conceptually before summarizing the claims and arguments of the essays.

Download or read book The Aesthetics of Science written by Milena Ivanova and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume builds on two recent developments in philosophy on the relationship between art and science: the notion of representation and the role of values in theory choice and the development of scientific theories. Its aim is to address questions regarding scientific creativity and imagination, the status of scientific performances—such as thought experiments and visual aids—and the role of aesthetic considerations in the context of discovery and justification of scientific theories. Several contributions focus on the concept of beauty as employed by practising scientists, the aesthetic factors at play in science and their role in decision making. Other essays address the question of scientific creativity and how aesthetic judgment resolves the problem of theory choice by employing aesthetic criteria and incorporating insights from both objectivism and subjectivism. The volume also features original perspectives on the role of the sublime in science and sheds light on the empirical work studying the experience of the sublime in science and its relation to the experience of understanding. The Aesthetics of Science tackles these topics from a variety of novel and thought-provoking angles. It will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in philosophy of science and aesthetics, as well as other subdisciplines such as epistemology and philosophy of mathematics.
