Philosophy Art(theory) and Literature (Part 2)

This volume is dedicated to the socio-political role of art and aesthetics as well as the specific relationship between philosophy and literature.Some of the issues discussed here relate to the ideological use and/or abuse of art and the question of whether art should be engaged or disengaged. These questions in turn lead to the need for a more precise philosophical or aesthetic definition of art and thus to arenewed clarification of the relationship between art and religion on the one hand andbetween literature and philosophy on the other.
