ART 341 Sublime in Art and Philosophy
The course will focus on the theme of beauty in nature, landscape, or place, as both an aesthetic and philosophic concept. In the process, we will examine how an appreciation of natural beauty has inspired artistic creations, from landscape paintings to contemporary conceptual art, as well as environmentalist concerns for the protection and preservation of pristine wilderness. Readings will include selections from the history of philosophy, artists’ writings, and essays by contemporary environmentalists, with an emphasis on the United States.
