Neuroaesthetics: Introduction 3501-NRI17-S
This course offers introduction to neuroesthetics. The new domain in philosophy neuroesthetics is a field of studies that uses cognitive methods to research and discuss art and aesthetics. It analyzes and discusses the problem of creativity in terms of human neuro-development and human skills, the problem of performance in art in context of human skills and brain functioning and other traditional problems of aesthetics in contexts of various cognitive research. In words of Anjan Chatterjee “The term neuroesthetics is also used broadly as a domain that has something to do with properties of the brain as it engages in aesthetics”. As Semir Zaki explains "Many of the critical questions now addressed experimentally by neuroesthetics have been addressed in philosophical discourse for centuries. Prominent among these is the problem of knowledge, a primordial function of the brain and a central issue in philosophy". Thus the aim of the course is to follow the development of the neuroesthetics and debate its value for general aesthetics.
