Throughout his career, Robert B. Pippin has examined the
relationship between philosophy and the arts. With his writings on
film, literature, and visual modernism, he has shown that there are
aesthetic objects that cannot be properly understood unless we
acknowledge and reflect on the philosophical concerns that are
integral to their meaning. His latest book, Philosophy by Other
Means, extends this trajectory, offering a collection of essays
that present profound considerations of philosophical issues in
aesthetics alongside close readings of novels by Henry James,
Marcel Proust, and J. M. Coetzee. The arts hold a range of values
and ambitions, offering beauty, playfulness, and craftsmanship
while deepening our mythologies and enriching the human experience.
Some works take on philosophical ambitions, contributing to
philosophy in ways that transcend the discipline’s traditional
analytic and discursive forms. Pippin’s claim is twofold:
criticism properly understood often requires a form of
philosophical reflection, and philosophy is impoverished if it is
not informed by critical attention to aesthetic objects. In the
first part of the book, he examines how philosophers like Kant,
Hegel, and Adorno have considered the relationship between art and
philosophy. The second part of the book offers an exploration of
how individual artworks might be considered forms of philosophical
reflection. Pippin demonstrates the importance of practicing
philosophical criticism and shows how the arts can provide key
insights that are out of reach for philosophy, at least as
traditionally understood. Â
