Annual Aesthetics Lecture Dr. Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus Philosophical Theology Divinity School and Religious Studies (Ph.D., Harvard University) at Yale University Philosophers and theorists of art have focused almost all of their attention on "high art"-- museum paintings and concert hall music -- to the neglect of other kinds of art. After offering an explanation of why this is, Dr. Wolterstorff argues that we should expand the scope of our inquiries and reflect on other ways of engaging art as well, and offerse some indication of what such an expanded inquiry would look like.
