The Limits of Art: On Borderline Cases of Artworks and their Aesthetic Propertie

Description: The Limits of Art by Jiri Benovsky Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Some of the limits discussed concern our senses (our different perceptual modalities), some concern vagueness and fuzzy boundaries between different types of works of art, some concern the amount of human intention and intervention in the process of creation of an artwork, and some concern the border between art and science. Publisher Description This open access book is about exploring interesting borderline cases of art. It discusses the cases of gustatory and olfactory artworks (focusing on food), proprioceptive artworks (dance, martial arts, and rock climbing qua proprioceptive experiences), intellectual artworks (philosophical and scientific theories), as well as the vague limits between painting and photography. The book focuses on the authors research about what counts as art and what does not, as well as on the nature of these limits. Overall, the author defends a very inclusive view, extending the limits of art, and he argues for its virtues. Some of the limits discussed concern our senses (our different perceptual modalities), some concern vagueness and fuzzy boundaries between different types of works of art, some concern the amount of human intention and intervention in the process of creation of an artwork, and some concern the border between art and science. In these various ways,by understanding better such borderline cases, Benovsky suggests that we get a better grip on an understanding of the nature of art. Author Biography Having been struck by Descartes "evil demon" thought experiment, Jiri Benovsky began studying metaphysics to try to find proof that the world really exists. Though he didnt find that proof, at least he found an academic way to live where he can not only go climbing and skiing in the mountains but also spend his days thinking about existence, reality, time, art, and the aesthetics of gourmet meals, rock climbing, or photography. He is the author of several books, including recently: "Eliminativism, objects, and persons. The virtues of non-existence" (Routledge, 2018), "Mind and matter. Panpsychism, dual-aspect monism, and the combination problem" (2018, Springer), and "Meta-metaphysics" (2016, Springer).
