Description
Philosophers on Art from Kant to the Postmodernists A Critical Reader brings together twenty-five texts on art written by twenty philosophers. These essays cover a range of topics, including Continental philosophy and aesthetics, Marxist intellectual tradition, and psychoanalytic theory.
The volume features contributions from prominent thinkers such as Martin Heidegger, Georges Bataille, Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, Gilles Deleuze, and Giorgio Agamben, among others.
Christopher Kul-Want provides an overview of the texts, accompanied by essays on aesthetics from Hegel to Badiou, demonstrating how philosophy shifted its focus towards aesthetic experience and subjectivity in response to Kant's influential ideas.
