Aesthetic Disinterestedness

More about the book

Aesthetic disinterestedness is explored through a sophisticated lens, drawing on the ideas of Kant, Schopenhauer, and Bullough. The author argues that artworks engage both the senses and imagination, necessitating a disinterested perspective from viewers. While primarily focused on aesthetics, the work also intersects with the history of aesthetics, philosophy of film and theater, and extends its implications into philosophy of mind, perception, and ethics, offering a comprehensive view of the role of art in human experience.
