Abstract:

The avowed purpose of Lucretius' poem is the ethical conversion of the reader, but ethics comes a very poor second to the physics in apparent importance within the text. This thesis argues that for Lucretius ethics is closely linked to aesthetics in the following ways: 1) ethics for Lucretius is a matter of seeing the truth about the world and thus relies on our senses and a'{aeT7OlS 2) the wise man is advised to watch the world aesthetically with all its sufferings rather than become involved in politics and love himself, the aesthetic appreciation of the spectacle being recommended as the et

Abstract:

Responses to Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke's work are laden with ethical inflections - as is expressed in the critical reception of the films. However, existing critical traditions fail to fully account for the impact of Haneke's oeuvre, situated as it is between int~llectual projects and popular entertainments. For while philosophy and film studies have for some years now been intersecting, the ethics of spectatorship remains critically understudied. More significantly, previo~s approaches to the subject of ethics and film have tended to focus on the morality 'of the diegetic universe wit

Abstract:

The aim of this project is to provide a theological basis for the practice of discipleship in the world as a form of aesthetic existence. The study is framed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s cryptic call for a recovery of Søren Kierkegaard’s notion of aesthetic existence in being Christian, set against the backdrop of their mutual concern for the captivity of the church to Christendom. In addition to the contribution by Kierkegaard (discipleship as poetic living) and Bonhoeffer (Christian living as polyphonous this-worldly celebration of Christological reality), three further key intellectuals have be

Abstract:

My dissertation examines how representations of physical and mental suffering in literary texts reveal paradoxes in the structure of sympathy that remain under-explored by literary scholars. In the philosophical thought of Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, Hume, and Smith, sympathy was a feature of the "moral sense," an aesthetic intuition that, with proper training, could compel individuals to act ethically in society. However, because sympathy allowed individuals to feel the experiences of others, not just through the imagination, but in connection with the body itself, the motivation for sympathizing

Abstract:

Immanuel Kant's claim that morality is a matter of rational judgment is perhaps the apotheosis of a tradition within ethical philosophy that sought certainty with regards to how one ought to live or what one should to do in any given situation. Although this strand still lingers in various guises in contemporary moral philosophy, pragmatism has set itself up as a response to this quest for ethical certainty. Yet, with its anti-absolutist commitments, pragmatist approaches to ethics struggle with the articulation of a prescriptive moral philosophy. Virtue ethics, however, with its focus on the

This thesis investigates the relationship between ethics and aesthetics by analysing several artworks produced over the last fifty years. It argues that ethics and aesthetics relate to one another in historically specific ways, and that artworks represent a privileged point of access for seeing how this relationship forms and changes. I show that within this period it is possible to discern the rise and fall of a paradigmatic bond between ethics and aesthetics articulated around the concept of transgression. The paradigm of transgression has, I argue, suffered a historical decline in a range o

This thesis is about the similarities of process between aesthetic experience and ethical judgement. I claim that in both cases the activity is best described as a type of play in which elements interact in mutual adjustment and transformation. This conception of play has its roots in Kant's aesthetic theory. Describing aesthetic experience as play results in emphasis on three central characteristics. These characteristics become the basis of constraints on judgement. In the case of ethical judgement these are important because they save from subjectivism a moral theory, particularism, which r

Abstract:

Before Al Gore's 2005 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" ignited general public concern for the worsening environmental crisis, artists played a crucial role in both exemplifying ecological concerns and in building alternative living and social arrangements.

Considered one of Northern Europe’s most renowned art film directors to date, Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson has been hailed by critics and art cinemagoers alike for his unconventional visual and narrative style.

The current vogue for experiential performance in contemporary theatre has led to a rise in interactive, immersive and participatory approaches that focus on creating work that attempts to involve and respond to the audience as individuals.

Within this critical framework, Carlyle’s largely conservative cultural stance and Christian spirituality are hardly allowed any creative poten

Nature aesthetics is examined as an approach to environmental ethics. The characteristics of proper nature appreciation show that every landscape can be appreciated impartially in light of the dynamic processes of nature. However, it is often claimed that natural beauty decreases if humans interfere into nature. This claim leads to the separation of human culture and nature, and limits the number of landscapes which can be protected in terms of aesthetic value. As a solution to this separation, a non-dualistic Japanese aesthetics is examined as a basis for the achievement of the coexistence of

Abstract:

Principles of design composition are commonly understood to pertain to geometrical systems for arranging parts in assembling a formal whole. Connection to socio-cultural 'meaning' and relevance arguably occurs primarily via the assumed divinity or universality of these systems. In the contemporary architectural world, where explicitly held beliefs in fundamental, geometrically defined principles or values have dissipated, guiding principles of composition appear to be obsolete. This seems particularly true in relation to work that highlights process - or change, responsiveness, interactivity a

Abstract:

This research provides artistic interventions into the question of institutionalised violence against animals. With a relational and holistic vision in mind, this artistic enquiry explores the intersections between ethics and aesthetics, humans and animals, human and animal injustices.

A Derridean approach invites us to think about the shared vulnerability among all beings through the presence of the animal other, calling our infinite responsibility towards the animal and dismantling entwined dualisms

In order to establish the significance of this connection for contemporary debates on aesthetics and ethics, I elucidate Schopenhauer's philosophy in a manner that addresses its inconsistencies and inadequacies whilst being con

This thesis puts emphasison tropes such as movement, gesture, process and becoming through anengagement with the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari as analternative to the theoretical models that dominate the scholarship on migrant anddiasp
