HU 438 - Aesthetics3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits Aesthetics is often identified with its major component, the philosophy of art. And while beauty is the aesthetic property most often associated with thinking in aesthetics, our experience of awe, humor, horror and disgust are also of considerable interest. The course begins with an examination of the notion of aesthetic experience in its relation to nature and art. Other topics include: imagination and creation; aesthetic evaluation and criticism; copies, forgeries and imitations; objects and performances; the presentation of art to the public; and aesthetics, morality and censorship.
