'Theoretical Background : Traditional Thoughts on Art' _ 20070911

I was taught 'history of art' by this lecture.
but, when i wrote down about the lecture,
I didnt come up with anything.

Dr.yoon said
"what is art?"

and He talked about 'Traditional Thoughts on Art'.
it was almost artists and philosophers.

Plato, Aristoteles, Hume, Kant, Hegel...

"they are philosophers."
That is all about them for me.
I didnt remain in ethics's memories;;

This lecture is simple and easy.
But I felt difficult.
I'll have to think about the art (and artists too).




Ah,

I just came up with some words.
(I dont know why i came up these words.)

** Unique
1. Something that is unique is the only one of its kind.
2. You can use unique to describe things that you admire because they are very unusual and special.
3. people who consider themselves uniquely qualified to be president of the United States.


** External ↔ Internal
- External is used to indicate that something is on the outside of a surface or body, or that it exists, happens, or comes from outside.
- Internal is used to describe things that exist or happen inside a particular person, object, or place.

**Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs) (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on diverse subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry (including theater), logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology and zoology. Along with Socrates and Plato, he was among the most influential of the ancient Greek philosophers, as they transformed Presocratic Greek philosophy into the foundations of Western philosophy as it is known today. Some researchers credit Plato and Aristotle with founding two of the most important schools of ancient philosophy, while others consider Aristotelianism to be a development and concretization of Plato's insights.

**Plato (Greek: Πλάτων, Plátōn, "wide, broad-browed"[1]) (428/427 BC[a] – 348/347 BC), whose original name was Aristocles, was an ancient Greek philosopher, the second of the great trio of ancient Greeks –succeeding Socrates and preceding Aristotle– who between them laid the philosophical foundations of Western culture.[2] Plato was also a mathematician, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the western world. Plato is widely believed to have been a student of Socrates, and to have been as much influenced by his thinking as by what he saw as his teacher's unjust death.

Plato's brilliance as a writer and thinker can be witnessed by reading his Socratic dialogues. Some of the dialogues, letters, and other works that are ascribed to him are considered spurious.[3] Interestingly, although there is little question that Plato lectured at the Academy that he founded, the pedagogical function of his dialogues, if any, is not known with certainty. Aristotle's mention of Plato, for example, suggests a number of lectures that took place on various philosophical subjects (such as The Good), but there is no suggestion that Plato lectured from or in accordance with his own dialogues, as a modern-day instructor of philosphy might with a particular textbook [citation needed]. In any event, the dialogues have since Plato's time been used to teach a range of subjects, mostly including philosophy, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, and other subjects about which he wrote.
