Post-Kantian European Philosophy Research Seminar Series

Title: 'The Idea of a 'Religion of Art': The Case of Wagner'
Speaker: Andrew Huddleston (91福利)
Title: The Idea of a "Religion of Art": The Case of Wagner
Date: Tuesday, 8 March 2022
Time: 5.30pm-7.15pm (UK time)
Abstract:
This talk draws on a wider project of mine considering a theme in the aesthetic theorizing and art-making of the post-Kantian period, especially pronounced in German Romanticism, and going through the 19th century, and into the 20th century to certain key segments of artistic, literary, and musical modernism. An oft-expressed ambition is that art will somehow step in and fill the void left behind by waning religion. In this talk specifically, I use Richard Wagner鈥檚 theoretical writings (and some responses to his works and his agenda) as one lens for better understanding this exalted ambition for art and the limitations of this ambition.
The seminar will be held in hybrid mode: in person (room R1.13) and online on MS Teams.
