This module will examine recent developments in philosophical aesthetics from the perspective of the analytic tradition in philosophy, focusing on key texts from the latter half of the twentieth century. The discipline is primarily concerned with establishing the foundations upon which the criticism and appreciation of the various art forms is based and consists of five main issues which concern all art forms: definition, ontology, properties, interpretation, and value. The question of fictionality and its relation to human emotions will also be addressed. The module provides a basic introduction to the application of philosophical analysis to the theory and practice of art.
