Estética
Estética reúne ocho ensayos sobre temas cruciales de estética filosófica, escritos por prestigiosos investigadores españoles y británicos que repasan el estado de la cuestión y ofrecen puntos de vista originales sobre las cuestiones centrales de la disciplina en la actualidad. Son temas del volumen la teoría del arte en la época de la disolución de los medios artísticos, la ontología en un panorama en el que cualquier cosa puede ser arte, la experiencia estética cuando se mantiene que ya no es distintiva de lo artístico e incluso puede que se trate de un mito, la ficción y su relación con la verdad, la relación entre el valor estético y ético, el análisis de la representación y la expresión artísticas, así como de su contribución al valor de la obra de arte, y el reciente desarrollo de la estética del entorno. Estética quiere contribuir al estudio filosófico del arte y de la experiencia estética desde una perspectiva analítica, y dar a conocer los últimos desarrollos de la disciplina en un lenguaje riguroso y claro, que permita la lectura tanto de estudiantes y personas interesadas como de especialistas.
The Philosophy of Fiction
This book presents new research on the crucial role that imagination plays in contemporary philosophy of fiction. The first part of the book challenges the main paradigm set by Kendall Walton and Gregory Currie, according to which there is a necessary connection between fiction and a prescription that we engage imaginatively with its content. The contributors address the fundamental questions of how we can define fiction, and especially whether we can define fiction in terms of imagination. The second part focuses on a distinct but related question: can we point to some distinctive experiential features of our engagement with fiction? In the third part, the focus lies on the cognitive value ...
The Oxford Handbook of Ethics and Art
"Art has not always had the same salience in philosophical discussions of ethics that many other elements of our lives have. There are well-defined areas of "applied ethics" corresponding to nature, business, health care, war, punishment, animals, and more, but there is no recognized research program in "applied ethics of the arts" or "art ethics." Art often seems to belong to its own sphere of value, separate from morality. The first questions we ask about art are usually not about its moral rightness or virtue, but about its beauty or originality. However, it is impossible to do any serious thinking about the arts without engaging in ethical questions"--
Beyond Art
This book offers a bold new approach to the philosophy of art. General theories of art don't work: they can't deal with problem cases. Instead of trying to define art, we should accept that a work of art is nothing but a work in one of the arts. Lopes's buck passing theory works well for the avant garde, illuminating its radical provocations.
The Aesthetic Value of the World
In The Aesthetic Value of the World, Tom Cochrane defends Aestheticism, the claim that everything is aesthetically valuable and that a life lived in pursuit of aesthetic value can be a particularly good one. Furthermore, in distilling aesthetic qualities, artists have a special role to play in teaching us to recognize values; a critical component of virtue. Cochrane grounds his account upon an analysis of aesthetic value as 'objectified final value', which is underwritten by an original psychological claim that all aesthetic values are distal versions of practical values. This is followed by systematic accounts of beauty, sublimity, comedy, drama, and tragedy, as well as appendix entries on the cute, the cool, the kitsch, the uncanny, the horrific, the erotic, and the furious.
Expression in the Performing Arts
The performing arts represent a significant part of the artistic production in our culture. Correspondingly the fields of drama, film, music, opera, dance and performance studies are expanding. However, these arts remain an underexplored territory for aesthetics and the philosophy of art. Expression in the Performing Arts tries to contribute to this area. The volume collects essays written by international scholars who address a variety of themes concerning the core philosophical topic of expression in the theory of the performing arts. Specific questions about the ontology of art, the nature of the performances, the role of the performer, and the relations between spectators and works emerg...
Significado, emoción y valor
En algunos casos la música fue compuesta expresamente para recordar a individuos, como en el caso de la Música para los funerales de la reina Mary de Purcell. O puede ser parte de un servicio litúrgico, como en el caso de los réquiem. En un funeral militar los "toques" señalan la muerte de un soldado. Un rasgo frecuente de estas composiciones es una música solemne, pausada y lenta apropiada para el estado mental nostálgico, melancólico y de profunda tristeza. Pero no toda la música de funeral tiene aire de lamento. Los funerales tradicionales de Nueva Orleans emplean endechas lentas y tristes de camino al cementerio, pero se transforman en melodías como "Feel so Good" y "When the S...
Philosophy of Lyric Voice
Carefully considering the difference in the philosophical potential of page poetry and performance poetry, Karen Simecek argues that it is only by considering them side by side that the unique cognitive value of each can be realised. Focusing on spoken word poetry reveals the importance of voice and embodied words to the differing epistemic rewards of engaging with contemporary works of poetry in both private reading and live performance. This concept of embodied voice progresses a new line of thinking in the cognitivism debate and unlocks the philosophical value of engaging with poetry. Simecek's discussion of performed poetry also advances discussions of affect and experience in contempora...
Expressiveness
A natural landscape can look serene, a shade of colour cheerful and a piece of music might sound heartrending. Why do we ascribe affective qualities to objects that can't entertain psychological states? The capacity that objects, and especially artworks, have to express affective states is a bizarre phenomenon that needs to be clarified in numerous respects. Philosophers are still struggling with the phenomenon of expressiveness being a matter of imagination, perception, or mnemonic association, and usually do not agree on the role that emotions and human bodily expressions play in it. Benenti questions the main theories that populate the aesthetics domain using the tools of philosophy of mi...
El valor del arte
Los ensayos recogidos en el presente volumen reflexionan sobre el valor del arte desde diferentes perspectivas. En primer lugar, se interrogan sobre la existencia de un valor específico del trabajo artístico y las obras de arte. En particular, algunos textos abordan la cuestión central del valor estético y de su conexión con la interpretación, la apreciación y el juicio de las obras de arte. En segundo lugar, ocupa un espacio central del libro el análisis de la relación entre el estético y otros valores que apreciamos en las obras de arte, como el valor documental, el histórico, el epistémico o el moral. Por último, la literatura, el cine o las artes plásticas son analizados desde el punto de vista del modo particular de dar sentido y articular en cada caso una concepción valiosa del mundo.
