In 1797 Friedrich Schlegel wrote that "philosophy of art usually
lacks one of two things: either the philosophy, or the art." This
collection of essays contains both the philosophy and the art. It
brings together an international team of leading philosophers to
address diverse philosophical issues raised by recent works of art.
Each essay engages with a specific artwork and explores the
connection between the image and the philosophical content.
Thirteen contemporary philosophers demonstrate how philosophy can
aid interpretation of the work of ten contemporary artists,
including: Jesse Prinz on John Currin Barry C. Smith and Edward
Winters on Dexter Dalwood Lydia Goehr and Sam Rose on Tom de
Freston Raymond Geuss on Adrian Ghenie and Chantal Joffe Hallvard
Lillehammer on Paul Noble M. M. McCabe and Alexis Papazoglou on Ged
Quinn Noel Carroll on Paula Rego Simon Blackburn and Jerrold
Levinson on George Shaw Sondra Bacharach on Yue Minjun. The
discussion ranges over ethical, political, psychological and
religious concepts, such as irony, disgust, apathy, inequality,
physiognomy and wonder, to historical experiences of war,
Marx-inspired political movements and Thatcherism, and standard
problems in the philosophy of art, such as expression, style,
depiction and ontology of art, as well as major topics in art
history, such as vanitas painting, photography, pornography, and
Dadaism. Many of the contributors are distinguished in areas of
philosophy other than aesthetics and are writing about art for the
first time. All show how productive the engagement can be between
philosophy, more generally, and art.
