Institute for Philosophy and Religion 2012-13 Lecture Series

Beyond Aesthetics: Philosophical and Theological Construals of Art

Next year's Institute series will offer an interdisciplinary examination of the relation between aesthetic and other forms of value in the modern world, including the nature of beauty and sublimity, the rise and fall of aesthetics as a discipline, and the claims of the "end" of art. In addition to the lecture series, a parallel undergrad/grad seminar will be offered in the Fall: students interested in these topics can register for the seminar under several cross-registrations (PH 456/656 = RN 397/697 = STH TT 819). For more information, contact Prof. Speight (casp8@bu.edu).
