Description
One of the most important questions in the philosophy of art studies today concerns the transition that has taken place at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century of an academic-classical orientation to what since then has been called modern art. A similar transition has occurred in philosophy. In many respects philosophy of life and phenomenology can be compared with the revolutionary movements of impressionism and cubism. This course studies these transitions on the basis of philosophical works of Dieter Jähnig and Gerard Visser.
