PHIL 325 Beauty and Value

This course is an inquiry into the nature of art and beauty, including problems of objectivity versus subjectivity. What does it mean to call something a "work of art?" Is beauty simply in the eye of the beholder? It provides an application of philosophical ideas and theories to present-day experiences and ongoing debates in contemporary aesthetics, such as colorization in movies. This course is intended for students with some background in either philosophy or the fine arts.
