What is the nature of aesthetic judgment? Are aesthetic judgments objective or merely reports on our private preferences? What is the relation between aesthetic and moral or political judgment? Does art play a significant role in the validation of social norms? How do institutions affect our appreciation of art? Is the aesthetic merely an attitude reinforced by museums or other social preconditions? Or is there something like an autonomous realm of beauty? These questions will guide us as we explore modern aesthetic theory from its idealist origins in Kant, Schiller, and Hegel, followed by Nietzsche, and concluding with contemporary philosophers of art such as Benjamin, Heidegger, Greenberg, Danto, and Nehamas.
