Humanities 119
This course will explore traditional and contemporary philosophical approaches to beauty and to art, tracing how the latter breaks free of the former and thereby also breaks free of the framework prepared for it by the intellectual tradition of the West. Along the way we shall consider issues connected to the meaning, definition, interpretation, and history of art in its various media
