28. ilosophical Perspectives
Art as an Imitation
In Plato’s metaphysics or view of reality, the
things in this world are only copies of original,
the eternal, and the true entities that can only
be found in the World of Forms
Art is dangerous
because it provides a
petty replacement for
the real entities that can
only be attained through
reason.

29. ilosophical Perspectives
Art as an Imitation

30. ilosophical Perspectives
Art as Representation
Unlike Plato who thought that art is an imitation
of another imitation, Aristotle conceived of art
as representing possible version of reality.
For Aristotle, all kinds of
art do not aim to
represent reality as it is, it
endeavors to provide a
version of what might be
or myriad possibilities of
reality.

31. ilosophical Perspectives
Art as a Disinterested Judgement
Immanuel Kant, in his Critique of Judgement,
considered the judgement of beauty, the
cornerstone of art, as something that can be
universal despite its subjectivity.
The first is clearly a judgment of
taste (subjective), while the
second is an aesthetic judgment
(objective) . Making an aesthetic
judgment requires us to be
disinterested.
Leonardo Da Vinci, Monalisa,

32. ilosophical Perspectives
Art as a Disinterested Judgement
Leonardo Da Vinci, Monalisa,
“I like the
painting.”
“The painting
is beautiful.”

33. ilosophical Perspectives
Art as a Communication of Emotion
According to Leo Tolstoy, art plays a huge role in
communication to its audience’s emotions that
the artist previously experienced.
In the same that
language
communicates
information to other
people, art
communicates
emotions.
William
Shakespeare
Moira Dela Torre
