- Lecture Topic: The Rise of the Public Sphere: Criticism and Taste
- Class Description:
- Joseph Addison famously declared "I have brought philosophy out of closets and libraries, schools and colleges to dwell in clubs and assemblies, at tea-tables and in coffee houses" (Spectator 10); with this statement he signals a discourse on ethics and aesthetics located in a commercial arena whose authority rests in publicness and wide participation. This association of judgment with a public sphere has important ramifications for aesthetic theory, which we will explore throughout the semester: the shift in focus to the receiving end of art, an examination of the normativity of taste, a privileging of contemporary writings, and a commitment to the relation between, on the one hand, cultural production and consumption and, on the other, specific (often national) communities. Readings will include works by a range of eighteenth-century writers - from Addison, through Diderot, to Kant - as well as twentieth-century theoretical and scholarly studies such as Habermas, Luhmann, and Bourdieu.
