Abstract

Philosophers say what art is and then scientists and then other scholars study how we are equipped, cognitively and socially, to make art and appreciate it. This time-honoured approach will not work. Recent science reveals that we have poor intuitive access to artistic and aesthetic phenomena. Dominic McIver Lopes argues for a new approach that mandates closer integration, from the start, between aesthetics and the human sciences. In these eleven essays he proposes a methodology especially suited to aesthetics, where problems in philosophy are addressed principally by examining how aesthetic phenomena are understood in the human sciences. Since the human sciences include much of the humanities as well as the social, behavioural, and brain sciences, the methodology promises to integrate arts research across the academy. Aesthetics on the Edge opens with a four essays outlining the methodology and its potential. The following essays put the methodology to work, shedding light on the perceptual and social-pragmatic capacities that are implicated in responding to works of art, especially images, but also music, literature, and conceptual art.

Abstract

Depuis l'avènement de la philosophie moderne au XVIIe siècle, les dispositions ont traîné une réputation sulfureuse : notions obscures, elles faisaient obstacle à une compréhension rationnelle de la nature. Attribuer à l'opium la disposition de faire dormir ou vertu dormitive, ne donne, disait-on, qu'une explication redondante, donc vide, de l'endormissement causé par l'ingestion d'opium. La philosophie des sciences du XXe siècle a ajouté ses propres raisons de bannir les prédicats de disposition (soluble, inflammable, ductile, fragile, etc.) d'une langue bien formée : aucun critère observable ne semble en effet pouvoir fonder l'attribution de solubilité dans l'eau à un objet qui ne s'y trouve jamais plongé. Le présent ouvrage se propose de montrer qu'au contraire, le recours aux dispositions est indispensable dans la plupart des explications, des plus ordinaires aux plus conformes au canon de la rigueur scientifique. Peut-on analyser les prédicats de disposition au moyen d'outils logiques nouveaux, tels que les conditionnels contrefactuels ? Quel est le rapport entre une disposition telle que la solubilité d'un morceau de sucre et sa base sous-jacente, en l'occurrence la structure cristalline du sucre ? Les dispositions peuvent-elles aider à expliquer pourquoi certaines lois de la nature ont des exceptions ? La mécanique quantique attribue-t-elle des dispositions aux particules élémentaires ? C'est à ces questions et bien d'autres que le présent ouvrage voudrait apporter des réponses.

Abstract

This exciting collaboration between a biologist and a philosopher explores the meaning of the scientific worldview and how it plays out in our everyday lives. The authors investigate alternatives to scientism, the view that science is the proper and exclusive foundation for thinking about and answering every question. They ask: Does the current technoscientific worldview threaten the pursuit of living well? Do the facts procured by technoscientific systems render inconsequential our lived experiences, the wisdom of ancient and contemporary philosophical insight, and the promise offered by time-honored religious beliefs? Drawing on important Western thinkers, including Kant, Nietzsche, Darwin, Heidegger, and others, Linda Wiener and Ramsey Eric Ramsey demonstrate how many of the claims and conclusions of technoscience can and should be challenged. They offer ways of thinking about science in a larger context that respect scientific practice, while taking seriously alternative philosophical modes of thought whose aims are freedom, the good life, and living well.
