The Intertwining of Aesthetics and Ethics: Exceeding of
Expectations, Ecstasy, Sublimity analyzes the common experiential
ground for both aesthetics and ethics by considering experiential
environment (both nature and art), the precedents to desire, the
notion of experience incorporating a break, and the reverberations
of surprise leading to the intertwining of aesthetics and ethics.
Jadranka Skorin-Kapov discusses different philosophical positions
on the relationship between nature and art, in conversation with
Kant, Hegel, Goethe, Gadamer, and Adorno. She argues that Kantian
sublimity can carry over from nature to art. As part of the
discussions of expectations and authenticity, the author interprets
Husserl's view on expectations, Heidegger's view on death and
authenticity, Blanchot's view on death, and Arendt's view on
natality. As for understanding the aesthetic experience as the
paradigmatic experience, Skorin-Kapov is informed by Dewey's work
on art as experience, Gadamer's work on experience of art, and
Jauss's work on the aesthetics of reception and the horizon of
expectations. After our sensibility and representational capability
are broken, recuperation then leads to sublimity and the subsequent
feelings of admiration and/or responsibility, allowing for the
intertwining of aesthetics and ethics. Additionally, elements of
Kantian morality, Foucault's ethics, and Kierkegaard's work on
interactions between aesthetics and ethics together help to
characterize the relation between aesthetics and ethics. Since we
often encounter surprise due to unexpectedness in comedy,
Skorin-Kapov also interprets philosophical views on the comedy and
laughter (including Aristotle, Kierkegaard, Meredith, and Bergson),
using the theatrical work of Dario Fo as an example. The novel
analysis in The Intertwining of Aesthetics and Ethics will be of
particular interest to students and scholars working or teaching in
aesthetics, phenomenology, art history, cultural studies, and
ethics.
