Being, in some aspects, a continuation of its predecessor from the previous year, the main purpose of this course is to apply mete-methodological criteria (based on Semiotics and Ingarden's Phenomenology) to the over-ramified and under-typologized map of 20th-Century Aesthetics. As in many other areas (from Physics and Logic to Music and Narratology) so in Aesthetic too, the 20th- century was a spastic geography of iconoclastic upheavals. All Aristotelian and Kantian trends of Objectivist value-judgement were thrown away, for the benefit of pluralistic, partial, relativistic and - generally speaking - subjectivistic approaches. This course adopts several rigorous techniques in a last resort endeavor of rehabilitating objectivist methodes of value-judgement - neo-Aristotelian of a sort, and - so I would claim - not incompatible with contemporary Aestetics.
