The philosophy of art is the philosophical investigation of what art is, what makes something beautiful, what aesthetic experience consists in, and why any of it matters. The discipline is as old as Plato's Republic and as current as last week's debate about whether AI-generated images are art. Key sections include: Philosophy of Art.; Opening What we ask of art.; Chapter I Plato banishes the poets.; Chapter II Aristotle answers.; Chapter III The Neoplatonic interlude.; Chapter IV Hume on taste.; Chapter V Kant's third Critique.; Chapter VI Schiller's aesthetic education.; Chapter VII Hegel and the end of art.; Chapter VIII Schopenhauer and music..
