PHIL 150 — The Philosophy of Art
Human beings make aesthetic judgments every day. Why do we decide that something is either beautiful or ugly? What criteria do we use to decide if a movie is good or not? Do our likes and dislikes connect to moral and intellectual judgments? This course is an introduction to major theories in aesthetics designed to help the students clarify and evaluate their own aesthetic judgments. (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-3, CSU-C2, IGETC-3B, Cal-GETC-3B)
