Samenvatting
Anthology of the philosophical aspects of photography. The essays, written by contemporary philosophers such as Scott Walden, Roger Scruton, Patrick Maynard and Arthur C. Danto in a thorough and engaging manner, explore the far-reaching ethical dimensions of photography as it is used today, exploring the link between the art of photography and the theoretical questions it raises. The essayists are all contemporary philosophers who bring with them an understanding of the broader metaphysical issues pertaining to photography, take a fresh look at some familiar issues - photographic truth, objectivity, and realism and introduces newer issues such as the ethical use of photography or the effect of digital-imaging technology on how we appreciate images. |
