Derek Matravers introduces students to the philosophy of art through a close examination of eight famous works of twentieth-century art. Each work has been selected in order to best illustrate and illuminate a particular problem in aesthetics. Each artwork forms the basis of a single chapter and readers are introduced to such issues as artistic value, intention, interpretation, and expression through a careful analysis of the artwork. Questions considered include what does art mean in contemporary art practice? Is the artistic value of a painting the same as how much you like it?

Quelle est la nature polymorphe, rebelle à toute délimitation, et donc proprement étonnante, du sublime ? En quoi consiste sa véhémence, sa force dynamique et dangereuse ? Comment expliquer les paradoxes de la sidération ou du plaisir négatif que son sentiment, sa passion ou même sa crise, engendrent chez tous ceux qui en font, moins l’expérience que l’épreuve ? Telles sont les trois principales questions que l’ouvrage entend poser dans l’inspiration des travaux de Baldine Saint Girons et de son livre Fiat Lux. Une philosophie du sublime (1993). Vingt-cinq chercheurs spécialistes reconnus de rhétorique, d’esthétique, de poétique, de philosophie, de peinture, de littérature, de musique, de psychanalyse, de sciences, de langues et cultures étrangères joignent ici leurs efforts afin de donner au lecteur – néophyte ou chercheur confirmé – les instruments les plus importants pour l’intelligence la plus vivante de la tradition du sublime. De l’Antiquité à l’époque actuelle, le lecteur est invité ici à saisir de façon organisée et claire les difficultés artistiques, philosophiques et existentielles de l’expérience de la grandeur.
