Ever since Plato expelled the poets from his ideal state, the
ethics of art has had to confront philosophy's denial of art's
morality. In Art before the Law, Ruth Ronen proposes a new outlook
on the ethics of art by arguing that art insists on this tradition
of denial, affirming its singular ethics through negativity. Ronen
treats the mechanism of negation as the basis for the relationship
between art and ethics. She shows how, through moves of denial,
resistance, and denouncement, art exploits its negative relation to
morality. While deception, fiction, and transgression allegedly
locate art outside morality and ethics, Ronen argues they enable
art to reveal the significance of the moral law, its origins, and
the idea of the good. By employing the thought of Freud and Lacan,
Ronen reconsiders the aesthetic tradition from Plato through Kant
and later philosophers of art in order to establish an ethics of
art. An interdisciplinary study, Art before the Law is sure to be
of interest both to academic philosophers and to those interested
in psychoanalytic theory and practice.
