B Emory University (Atlanta, GA)
B April 26-27, 2013
B "Artificial aesthetics, or the science of the beautiful... dissolves,
as far as it is able to do so, precisely that which was habitual, that
which was beautiful nature, and, as it were, destroys it in the same
moment. It is precisely that beautiful confusion--which, if it is not
the mother, is at least the inseparable companion of all pleasure--that
artificial aesthetics dissolves and seeks to illuminate with distinct
ideas: truth takes the place of beauty." b J.G. Herder,B Critical
Forests:Fourth Grove
B 18thB century German philosopher Alexander Baumgarten is credited with
coining the termB aestheticsB as deserving of its own philosophic study.
In the centuries following Baumgarten aesthetics remained an
inextricable part of German intellectual history. Aesthetics and the
philosophy of art can be traced through the work of Herder, Kant,
Schiller, Hegel, Schelling, Heidegger, Adorno, Gadamer, and Sloterdijk,
to mention only a few. This conference seeks to address the importance
and impact of the German aesthetic tradition, from its inception in the
18thB Century to the present. Some questions we hope to address are:
Does aesthetics offer a special case for study of subjectivity and
intersubjectivity? How does the aesthetic experience and art influence
our interactions with and within the world? Can works of art (and
aesthetics, more broadly) affect, and even institute, ethical and
political communities? What role, if any, does universality play in
standards of taste? What is the significance of the emergence of the
German aesthetic tradition in response to the Enlightenment? We would
also welcome all submissions addressing the relation of aesthetics and
nature in the German aesthetic tradition, including but not limited to:
beauty and the sublime, expressivism, the relation of the body to the
work of art and nature, the relation of the German aesthetic tradition
to other traditions, and the relation of aesthetics to other areas of
philosophy.
B Papers from all philosophical perspectives are encouraged. Submissions
should be sent as .docx, or .doc, and should not exceed 15
double-spaced pages. Personal information should be sent in the body of
the email and should not appear on the paper itself. Email submissions
