The student will be able to access to an elementary knowledge of analytical aesthetics and ontology of art, with particular attention to architecture.
- what is an artwork? - what is the distinction between an artwork and a mere object? - the ontology of the artwork - the necessary and sufficient conditions of x to be an artwork - the conceptual and ontological status of the architectural artwork - is there still place for beauty in art? And in architecture?
