The Aesthetics and Ethics of Copying responds to the rapidly
changing attitudes towards the use of another's ideas, styles, and
artworks. With advances in technology making the copying of
artworks and other artefacts exponentially easier, questions of
copying no longer focus on the problems of forgery: they now expand
into aesthetic and ethical legal concerns. This volume addresses
the changes and provides the first philosophical foundation for an
aesthetics and ethics of copying. Scholars from philosophy of art,
philosophy of technology, philosophy of law, ethics, legal theory,
media studies, art history, literary theory, and sociology discuss
the role that copying plays in human culture, confronting the
question of how-and why-copying fits into our broader system of
values. Teasing out the factors and conceptual distinctions that
must be accounted for in an ontology of copying, they set a
groundwork for understanding the nature of copies and copying,
showing how these interweave with ethical and legal concepts.
Covering unique concerns for copying in the domain of artworks,
from music and art to plays and literature, contributors look at
work by artists including Heinrich von Kleist, Robert Rauschenberg,
Courbet and Manet and conclude with the normative dimensions of
copying in the twenty-first century. By bringing this topic into
the philosophical domain and highlighting its philosophical
relevance, The Aesthetics and Ethics of Copying establishes the
complex conditions-ontological, aesthetic, ethical, cultural, and
legal-that underlie and complicate the topic. The result is a
timely collection that establishes the need for further discussion.
