This major collection of essays stands at the border of aesthetics
and ethics and deals with charged issues of practical import: art
and morality, the ethics of taste, and censorship. As such its
potential interest is by no means confined to professional
philosophers; it should also appeal to art historians and critics,
literary theorists, and students of film. Prominent philosophers in
both aesthetics and ethics tackle a wide array of issues. Some of
the questions explored in the volume include: Can art be morally
enlightening and, if so, how? If a work of art is morally better
does that make it better as art? Is morally deficient art to be
shunned, or even censored? Do subjects of artworks have rights as
to how they are represented? Do artists have duties as artists and
duties as human beings, and if so, to whom? How much tension is
there between the demands of art and the demands of life?
