COML 3566
Aesthetics and Economics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Two models have dominated Western literary aesthetics, one based on Platonic inspiration and another based on Aristotelian craftsmanship and skill. Each has ramifying economic implications, the first based on the value or worth of a divinely endowed talent, the second on practice and hard work. This course will explore how these coordinates relate and diverge in texts by Homer, Virgil, Dante, Rabelais, Diderot, Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, and Joyce.

When Offered Spring.
