Minerva s Night Out presents series of essays by noted philosopher and motion picture and media theorist Noel Carroll that explore issues at the intersection of philosophy, motion pictures, and popular culture.
Art in Three Dimensions is a collection of essays by a leading figure in the philosophy of art. The animating idea behind Carroll's work is that philosophers of art should look beyond aesthetics and refocus their attention on the ways in which art enters the life of culture and influences the moral and emotional experiences of audience members.
The philosophy of motion pictures has typically been explored in a top-down fashion. The essence of motion pictures is identified - usually understood in terms of photographic film - and every other feature of the film is weighed in relation to that essence.
How can we be genuinely frightened of vampires, though we know they don't exist? How is it that people find pleasure in being scared out of their wits? Carroll presents the first philosophical and aesthetic analysis of the horror genre.
Philosophy of Art is a textbook for undergraduate students interested in the topic of philosophical aesthetics, introducing the techniques of analytic philosophy in addition to a selection of the major topics in this area.
Beyond Aesthetics brings together philosophical essays addressing art and related issues by one of the foremost philosophers of art at work today. Countering conventional aesthetic theories - those maintaining that authorial intention, art history, morality and emotional responses are irrelevant to the experience of art - Noel Carroll argues for a more pluralistic and commonsensical view in which all of these factors can play a legitimate role in our encounter with art works. Throughout, the book combines philosophical theorizing with illustrative examples including works of high culture and the avant-garde, as well as works of popular culture, jokes, horror novels, and suspense films.
