Title: Art's Emotions : Ethics, Expression, and Aesthetic Experience
Author: Freeman, Damien
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9780773540064
Description: Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2012. 24cm., pbk., 240pp. Summary: How is that artistic works have the power to move the human heart? Why does Manet's Woman with a Parrot evoke reverie, and an Edward Elgar cello concerto, nostalgia? What is the value of such experiences? Art's Emotions is a reflective, thought-provoking exploration of the significance that experiencing emotion through art has upon our lives. Damien Freeman reviews and evaluates three traditional approaches to understanding artistic expression and moves on to develop a new theory of emotion that resolves key questions in aesthetics. In a novel philosophical project, Freeman also establishes the ethical importance of art in nurturing humans and helping them flourish.
