Università Roma Tre

The course ‘Issues in the Philosophy of Art’ is part of the program in Philosophy (MA level) and is included among the complementary training activities. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the philosophical foundations of art. Through a combination of readings, lectures, and discussions, we will examine key theories and ideas that have shaped our understanding of the nature, value, and significance of artistic expression. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the aesthetic dimensions of art and how they intersect with broader questions about society, culture, and human experience.
Upon completion of the course, students are expected to acquire the following skills:
- capacity to read and analyse philosophical sources in the philosophy of art;
- advanced critical thinking in relation to the relevant debate;
- advanced language and argumentation skills with regard to the topics discussed in class.
