Questions About the Class

I am posting the following questions for the second part of the first assignment.

1. Will we be learning about the time the philosophers, whose theories on art we will study and discuss, lived in to help decipher what it was that influenced their thoughts and beliefs?
2. What sort of art will we look at?

• This question must be followed with yet another question: What is art and who is it that decides of the art is art or just obscene and beyond the pale?
