The relation between aesthetic and moral concerns or values,
especially as regards art and its place in our lives, has become a
prominent focus of recent philosophical aesthetics. This collection
of high quality papers, some historical and some contemporary in
orientation, should do much to further debate on this crucial
issue.' Jerrold Levison, University of Maryland
Art and Morality is a collection of groundbreaking new papers on
the theme of aesthetics and ethics, and the link between the two
subjects. A group of distinguished contributors tackle the
important questions that arise when one thinks about the moral
dimensions of art and the aesthetic dimension of moral life.
The volume is a significant contribution to philosophical
literature, opening up unexplored questions and shedding new light
on more traditional debates in aesthetics. The topics explored
include: the relation of aesthetic to ethical judgment; the
relation of artistic experience to moral consciousness; the moral
status of fiction; the concepts of sentimentality and decadence;
the moral dimension of critical practice, pictorial art and music;
the moral significance of tragedy; and the connections between
artistic and moral issues elaborated in the writings of central
figures in modern philosophy, such as Kant, Schopenhauer and
Nietzsche.
The contributors share the view that progress in aesthetics
requires detailed study of the practice of criticism. This volume
will appeal both to the philosophical community and to researchers
in areas such as literary theory, musicology and the theory of art.
