Thoughtful Images - Illustrating Philosophy Through Art

Informationen zum Autor Thomas E. Wartenberg is Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Mount Holyoke College where he taught since 1984. He is the author or editor of over fifteen books including most recently, Thinking Through Stories: Children, Philosophy, and Picture Books; Mel Bochner: Illustrating Philosophy; and Thinking On Screen: Film as Philosophy. Klappentext Thoughtful Images demonstrates that there is a rich tradition of illustrations of philosophy that originated in Ancient Greece, spread throughout Europe, thrived in twentieth century America, and continues to this day. Illustration is not generally regarded as a genuine art form on a par with painting and sculpture and many believe that the abstract claims made by philosophers are not amenable to being rendered in visual images. Wartenberg shows that the denigration of illustration as an art form is misguided in a number of ways.
