"Dark Star" as an Example of Transcendental Aesthetics Steven Skaggs Used in The Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics by permission of the author. Disclaimer: If Jerry Garcia inhabited a grave, he'd be spinning in it. Seeing such a cold analysis of what was for him, no doubt, just plain fun with sound would be torture. But standing in front a great automobile, some people just enjoy the shape, while others enjoy the shape but wonder at how it works. Opening the hood to see what's going on in there doesn't lessen the enjoyment. I've always liked going to "Dark Star" with some knowledge of how the space ship is working.

Votes:0 Aesthetics and Philosophy of the Arts The Problem of Particularity in Kant’s Aesthetic Theory Andrew Chignell Yale University andrew.chignell@yale.edu ABSTRACT : In moving away from the objective, property-based theories of earlier periods to a subject-based aesthetic, Kant did not intend to give up the idea that judgments of beauty are universalizable. Accordingly, the "Deduction of Judgments of Taste" ( KU , ? 38) aims to show how reflective aesthetic judgments can be "imputed" a priori to all human subjects. The Deduction is not successful: Kant manages only to justify the imputation of the same form of aesthetic experience to everyone; he does not show that this experience will universally occur in response to the same objects. This is what I call Kant’s P Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Aesthetic Bearing: Self-Awareness through Cultural Integration Essay by R.Cronk The work of hundreds of artists is available to gallery and museum audiences in every major city in the United States and Europe. Few pieces trigger significant appreciation and this is how it should be. Everything else is so much hoopla. We have always searched the galleries for the solitary glimpse into the transcendent nature of art. The experience is distinguished by feelings of elation and by a heightened sense of awareness and objectivity. This infrequent encounter, while perceived as significant by the viewer, remains more or less unknown to critical inquiry and is a continuing source of debate in the fine arts. Art capable of evoking a response greater than the objective appraisal has been traditionally Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 English Versions Aesthetics as Mediation (1977) To use words and terms not in accordance with their meaning in everyday language is problematic, however, it is often necessary. In general there are several different meanings for every word or term. Every specific term may be considered an expression for a complex statement. Any given terminology can be transformed into colloquial language if the meaning of the statement inherent in the term is analyzed. Terms are names for meaningful statements; they can become independent of their original meaning and even differ very much from it. The term "aesthetics" has undergone such a functional change of meaning over the past 200 years. In the middle of the eighteenth century Alexander Baumgarten, the founder of modern German esthetics, used the te Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Philosophy vs Aesthetics T he philosophical and aesthetic aspects of art are actually compliments of one another not antagonists. One may create an exceptionally beautiful work and have it be meaningful as well. Those who draw and paint poorly (or worse - with willful atavism) seem to make unlikely bedfellows of the two. An exceptionally good aesthetic work can stand alone on its own merits as an admirable piece. However, a poorly made philosophical work is unacceptable. The first work, "I saw the Figure 5 in Gold" is a good example of composition and color. It conveys absolutely no philosophical meaning of and unto itself. The second work "The Scream" by Edvard Munch is a philosophical disaster displaying the 'artists' ineptitude in all facets of his craft. What!? This great work is ? NO Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) Certainly one of the greatest philosophers of the 19th century, Schopenhauer seems to have had more impact on literature (e.g. Thomas Mann) and on people in general than on academic philosophy. Perhaps that is because, first, he wrote very well, simply and intelligibly (unusual, we might say, for a German philosopher, and unusual now for any philosopher), second, he was the first Western philosopher to have access to translations of philosophical material from India , both Vedic and Buddhist , by which he was profoundly affected, to the great interest of many, and, third, his concerns were with the dilemmas and tragedies, in a religious or existential sense, of real life, not just with abstract philosophical problems.

Votes:0 Arthur Schopenhauer: (1788-1860). Schopenhauer was, as a philosopher, a pessimist; he was a follower of Kant's Idealist school . Born in Danzig, Schopenhauer, because of a large inheritance from his father, was able to retire early, and, as a private scholar, was able to devote his life to the study of philosophy. By the age of thirty his major work, The World as Will and Idea , was published. The work, though sales were very disappointing, was, at least to Schopenhauer, a very important work. Bertrand Russell reports that Schopenhauer told people that certain of the paragraphs were written by the "Holy Ghost." Schopenhauer's system of philosophy, as previously mentioned, was based on that of Kant's.

Adorno Section Two By Stephen Bronner Exploding the Inversion "The gentleman does not find the world to his liking? Then let him go and look for a better one." (ibid., pg. 115.) Adorno hated this kind of talk. But, he protested too much. For, while such a view might well shackle artistic experimentation and limit the range of experience, its relevance for politics is obvious. Adorno, however, could not -- or would not -- make the distinction. And this has profound implications. The question is whether the cult embracing Adorno, identifying his ideas with those of critical theory per se, are willing to draw them. It is irrefutable that Adorno made seminal contributions to aesthetics by reaffirming the cen Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Brecht's Marxist Aesthetic By Douglas Kellner Brecht's relationship to Marxism is extremely important and highly complex. From the 1920s until his death in 1956, Brecht identified himself as a Marxist; when he returned to Germany after World War II, he chose the German Democratic Republic (GDR), where his actress wife Helene Weigel and he formed their own theater troupe, the famed Berliner Ensemble, and were eventually given a state theater to run. Yet Brecht's relationship to orthodox Marxist officials and doctrine was often conflictual, and his own work and life were highly idiosyncratic. Of a strongly anti-bourgeois disposition from his youth, the young Brecht was also initially repelled by Bolshevism. He experienced the German revolution of 1918 with some ambivalence and dedicated hims Read More Go to Site

told by Newton) than such as are both true and sufficient
to explain their appearances. This central theme is basic to
the pursuit of science, and goes back to the principle known
as Occam's razor: ``if presented with a choice between
indifferent alternatives, then one ought to select the simplest one'' [1].
Unconsciously or explicitly, informal application
of this principle in science and mathematics abound. The principle of Occam's razor is not only relevant to science and
mathematics, but to fine arts as well. Some artists consciously
prefer ``simple" art by claiming: Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Romanticism and Philosophy in an Historical Age The Voice of Critique: Aesthetic Cognition After Kant PART I Thomas Pfau , Duke University The following, somewhat speculative remarks constitute part of a larger project concerned with the historical transformation throughout the nineteenth century of something frequently called interiority. More specifically, my aim is to explore how interiority during that period pivots on two fundamentally distinct models of aesthetic experience and, implicit in these, two opposed theories of aesthetic response. As I intend to show in some detail, the dynamics of interiority are dialectically bound up with the operation of aesthetic form, and perhaps nowhere more so than in German culture during the first half of the nineteenth century.

Votes:0 Quantifying Aesthetic Preference for Chaotic Patterns Deborah J. Aks University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and Julien C. Sprott University of Wisconsin at Madison ABSTRACT Art and nature provide much of their aesthetic appeal from a balance of simplicity and complexity, and order and unpredictability. Recently, complex natural patterns have been produced by simple mathematical equations whose solutions appear unpredictable (chaotic). Yet the simplicity and determinism of the equations ensure a degree of order in the resulting patterns. The first experiment shows how aesthetic preferences correlate with the fractal dimension ( F ) and the Lyapunov exponent ( L ) of the patterns. F reflects the extent that space is filled and L represents the unpredictability of the dynamical process that pr Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 I believe the contemporary artist is currently engaged in redefining his
role. Aesthetics are shifting from passive to active. And this is
reflected in the collaborative aspect of my work. It does not exist

make Chicago a Park Place" by Alan Artner, Chicago Tribune, June 23,

installations that off the viewer linear and non-linear experience with
multiple levels of content. Due to their complexity, these works have
rewarded repeat viewing, but remain as fixed experiences. Recent
advances in technology have allowed me to explore a new type of media

Votes:0 WHAT IS THE SUBJECT OF AESTHETICS? Otto Neumaier I. Is Beauty the Subject of Aesthetics? II. Look Back to Aristotle III. The Subject(s) of Aesthetics For many people it seems to be quite obvious that aesthetics is by far the weakest of all theoretical disciplines. This idea is most prominently expressed by Moritz Geiger, one of the founders of Phenomenological Aesthetics, who complained already at the beginning of this century that 'aesthetics is, like a weather vane, turned around by any philosophical, cultural, or scientific gust of wind; one moment it is pursued metaphysically and the next moment empirically, now normatively and now descriptively, one moment from the point of view of the artist, the next moment from the art-lover's point of view, today the centre of aesthetics is seen i Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 home topics about us playground brain & behavior complex systems biology science education science & culture guest exhibitions 4. The 19th Century: Mind and Brain As the 19th century progressed, the problem of the relationship of mind to brain became ever more pressing. Indeed, so deep was the concern with mind/brain relations that it is difficult to find a systematic text written after 1860 that does not contain a discussion of this issue. To a large extent, this directly reflected two major developments that converged to impress philosophers and psychologists with the centrality of the mind/brain problem. The first of these involved progress in understanding the localization of cerebral function, based on the idea that the brain serves as the organ of mind. The second involved a growing Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 The Rise and Fall of (Post-)Modern Essay by R.Cronk When Clive Bell pondered the nature of the common quality shared by the windows of Chartres, a Persian bowl, Chinese carpets and a painting by Cezanne, he concluded the existence of 'significant form.' Bell substituted significant form for the concept of beauty in an aesthetic adaptation of Immanuel Kant's transcendental idealism. In the Formalist aesthetic, the viewer sought significant form through transcendent inquiry. The apprehension of significant form is based on sensitivities distinct from analytic reasoning. In an insight missing from much of the Formalist rhetoric that followed, Bell described the aesthetic response as the "expression of that emotion which is the vital force in every religion." (Bell, "Art," 1914) In a concern f Read More Go to Site
