Art and Embodiment: From Aesthetics to Self-Consciousness
Crowther, Paul (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, Jacobs University, Bremen)
Paul Crowther argues that art can bridge the gap between philosophy's traditional striving for generality and completeness, and the concreteness and contingency of humanity's basic relation to the world. He proposes an ecological definition of art: by making sensible or imaginative material into symbolic form, it harmonizes and conserves what is unique and what is general about human experience.
