Aesthetics and/or Ideology
ENGL 301 FA
This survey course presents modern philosophical accounts of aesthetic experience and the ways that literary figures have adapted these theories to suit their purposes. Our concerns will be with the way the aesthetic
presents endless provocation for
philosophy and with the way theory becomes a spur to literary invention.
