This course combines a grounding in philosophical aesthetics in the modern European tradition with a study of contemporary art theory and the philosophy of art history. It offers an overview of philosophical approaches to modern art, distinguishing between ‘aesthetic', ‘Romantic' and ‘Modernist' problematics, and considers current debates on situated and ‘planetary' aesthetics. Modules engage with figures like Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Rancière, Rosalind Krauss and Benjamin Buchloh. Students will study at the UK's leading Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University, which hosts conferences, workshops and regular seminars.
The course is delivered through relatively small seminars, which involve a mixture of structured lectures or presentations, textual analysis, and group discussion. This course is taught by leading specialists at the internationally renowned Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy. Kingston's graduates often progress to research degrees in European philosophy and critical theory, or to careers in media/journalism, publishing, the arts, education, and public policy.
