This text is part of the "Bristol Introductions" series which aims
to present perspectives on philosophical themes, using
non-technical language, for both the new and the advanced scholar.
This introductory text examines how questions of understanding the
pictorial and narrative arts relate to central themes in
philosophy. It addresses such issues as: how can pictorial and
narrative arts be usefully contrasted and compared?; what in
principle can be, or cannot be, communicated in such different
media?; why does it seem that, at its best, artistic communication
goes beyond the limitations of its own medium - seeming to think
and to communicate the incommunicable?; and what kinds of thought
are exercised in the pictorial and narrative arts? Both refer to or
represent what we take the world to be, and in so doing make the
concepts of aesthetic judgement and imagination unavoidable. The
ways of understanding art are ways of understanding what it is to
be human. Much of what baffles or misleads us in the arts invokes
what puzzles us about ourselves. The issues raised are therefore
central to philosophy as a discipline - failures in understanding
art can be philosophical failures.
