Introduction to Philososphy lecture 7

Today we discussed the philosophy of art looking at an article by Schopenhauer who thinks that art clears the mist. We looked at several videos and compared them. Some from Sleeping Beauty, and others from Beauty and the Beast. In contrast there was Roger Scruton who critiques faking it, and we discussed kitsch in art including Odd Nerdrum who sat on a panel discussion with Sir Roger. The quiz question was what do you think is the most beautiful art. I did video the class though the batteries needed changing midway, so there are two. Here and here.
