Art and the Brain, II : Investigations into the Science of Art, Paperback / softback Book

Art and the Brain, II : Investigations into the Science of Art Paperback / softback

Edited by Joseph Goguen, Erik Myin

Part of the Journal of Consciousness Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

Second of a three-volume series of the "Journal of Consciousness Studies", which asks if it is possible to take a natural science approach to art and uncover general laws of aesthetic experience, or is that taking reductionism too far?What is art?

What is beauty? How do they relate? Where does consciousness come in? What about truth? And can science help us with issues of this kind? Because such questions go to the very heart of current conflicts about Western value systems, they are unlikely to receive definitive answers.

But they are still very much worth exploring - which is precisely the purpose of this collection of papers (Journal of Consciousness Studies, 7, No.8/9), with particular attention to the relationships between art and science.
