This course combines a grounding in philosophical aesthetics in the modern European tradition with a study of contemporary art theory and the philosophy of art history. It offers an overview of philosophical approaches to modern art, distinguishing between ‘aesthetic’, ‘Romantic’ and ‘Modernist’ problematics, and considers current debates on situated and ‘planetary’ aesthetics.
Modules engage with figures like Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Rancière, Rosalind Krauss and Benjamin Buchloh.
You will study at the UK’s leading Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University, which hosts conferences, workshops and regular seminars.
