More about the book
Ruth Ronen explores the complex relationship between art and ethics, tracing back to Plato's expulsion of poets from his ideal society. She argues that art not only confronts philosophical skepticism about its morality but also asserts its own ethical framework through a process of negation. This examination offers a fresh perspective on how art engages with moral questions, challenging traditional views and emphasizing the unique ethical stance that art can embody.
