The Life and Death of Images: Ethics and Aesthetics


by Diarmuid Costello. The ancient question of whether art has a social, political or psychological purpose is explored here by philosophers and art historians. Editors Costello (philosophy, University of Warrick UK) and Willsdon, a curator at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, have chosen eight colleagues to present their opinions. The contributors are arranged in pairs so that each gives a commentary on the paper of the other, thus creating a mini-dialogue. (Check Catalog)
