| Summary |
Philosophical interest in aesthetics comes from a recognition that many topics of general philosophical importance - the nature of representation, imagination, emotion and expression - cannot be adequately understood unless their roles in the arts and artistic appreciation are examined, for here they find some of their most interesting and complex applications. Interest in aesthetics also gets a boost from increased pluralism within analytic philosophy itself, which has advanced outwards from its heartlands of the philosophy of language and science to conquer new areas, such as applied ethics, political philosophy, cognitive science and aesthetics |
