The Philosophy and Politics of Aesthetic Experience

Viac o knihe

The exploration of aesthetic experience reveals its role in fostering personal autonomy and critiquing societal norms, as examined through early German Romanticism and critical theory. Art transcends mere representation of society; it transforms our ingrained experiences and highlights its political dimensions. The author argues for understanding art as a unique form of truth, distinct from rational discourse or scientific understanding, offering insights that philosophy and politics can greatly benefit from.
