Description
This module explores the interactions between science and art from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Its philosophical focus is the notion of 鈥渞epresentation,鈥 conceived as a crucial link between scientific and artistic visual practices. Integrating the history and philosophy of scientific and artistic representations, the module will address a broad range of issues. These will include questions on the nature and role of visual representations in scientific and artistic practice, what counts as 鈥渙bjective鈥 and 鈥渁ccurate鈥 representation, when and how images count as 鈥渆vidence鈥, and whether the relations between science and modernism contribute to overturn the common sense view that 鈥渁rt invents, science discovers鈥.
