商品簡介
Dahnke (health and society, Drexel U., and philosophy, St. Joseph's U. and The College of New Jersey) considers the definition of art by examining film in terms of art as representation, form, expression, institution, knowledge, and freedom. These last three categories address George Dickie's theory, aesthetic cognitivism and the theories of Nelson Goodman and Martha Nussbaum, and the perspectives of Hegel, Nietzsche, Foucault, and others, respectively. Other theorists discussed include Plato, Kant, Tolstoy, and Collingwood. For each of the categories, many film examples are used and examined in terms of aesthetics. The book is meant for those in film studies or instructors teaching introduction to philosophy courses who want to include aesthetics. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
