In this monograph, Thomas Hilgers introduces and defends a new and sophisticated account of aesthetic disinterestedness. Elaborating upon the work of Kant, Schopenhauer, Bullough and others, Hilgers claims that artworks have an aesthetic function, because they typically address our senses as well as our imagination, and require us to adopt a disinterested attitude towards what they show or present. While the book is primarily a work in aesthetics, the history of aesthetics, philosophy of film, and philosophy of theater, the author's notion of aesthetic disinterestedness also contributes to work in philosophy of mind, philosophy of perception, and ethics.
Thomas Hilgers is a research associate at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and the DFG-Priority Program 1688. After completing his dissertation in philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, he was a research fellow at the Free University Berlin, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, and Columbia University. He has also taught seminars in philosophy and film studies at UPenn, the Free University Berlin, the Kunstakademie, the Humboldt University Berlin, and Potsdam University. His fields of research are aesthetics, philosophy of film, philosophy of technology, metaphysics, and the history of German philosophy since Kant.
