Different Aesthetics Principles - Questions - Perspectives

What is art? What does art offer? Why does art move us? The CRC Different Aesthetics pursues these questions. In doing so, and by directing its attention towards the 2000-year history of European culture and art before the 18^{th
century, it aims to transform perspectives within aesthetic discussions. This volume introduces the research undertaken by the CRC 1391. It outlines the benefits of concentrating on the pre-modern period, lays out the subsequent adjustments to analytical tools and methods, and presents the resulting consequences for the study of aesthetics.
The contributions, which range from philology and literary studies, art history, archaeology, and musicology to historical science, theology, and the digital humanities offer concrete examples of this approach.}
