Beskrivning

Some of the limits discussed concern our senses (our different perceptual modalities), some concern vagueness and fuzzy boundaries between different types of works of art, some concern the amount of human intention and intervention in the process of creation of an artwork, and some concern the border between art and science.

Mer om författaren

Having been struck by Descartes’ “evil demon” thought experiment, Jiri Benovsky began studying metaphysics to try to find proof that the world really exists. Though he didn’t find that proof, at least he found an academic way to live where he can not only go climbing and skiing in the mountains but also spend his days thinking about existence, reality, time, art, and the aesthetics of gourmet meals, rock climbing, or photography. He is the author of several books, including recently: “Eliminativism, objects, and persons. The virtues of non-existence” (Routledge, 2018), “Mind and matter. Panpsychism, dual-aspect monism, and the combination problem” (2018, Springer), and “Meta-metaphysics” (2016, Springer).
