Aesthetic theories in the Western tradition, like most philosophical theories, do not set out to have only local application, as they try to articulate generally relevant and illuminating theoretical concepts and values. But can and should philosophical aesthetics have global significance? Can aesthetic theories find fruitful general application while also respecting the locality and variability of aesthetic sensitivity? What kinds of theoretical ambition and humility are called for in philosophical aesthetics? Eileen John is associate professor of philosophy at the university of Warwick and director of the Warwick Centre for research in Philosophy, Literature and the Arts. She has a specific interest in literature and its philosophical and ethical roles and she tries to show the relevance of literary works to contemporary debates concerning, for example, personhood ethical disagreement and value formation Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Eileen John on Art and Morality

Eileen John is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick. Her research is in aesthetics and philosophy of literature, with particular interests in literature and knowledge, and some broader interests in personal autonomy, moral psychology, and conditions for ethical life. Recent papers are on second-personal constraints on love, the nature of our concern for fictional characters, and expressive thought in poetry. She directs Warwick’s Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature and the Arts. This podcast is an audio recording of Dr. John's talk - 'Literature and Disagreement' - at the Aristotelian Society on 28 April 2014. The recording was produced by Backdoor Broadcasting Company in conjunction with the Institute of Philosophy, University of London.
