Graduate Student Talk: Félix-Antoine Gélineau

Join Félix-Antoine Gélineau, a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the MIT Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, for a conversation around Pedro Gómez-Egaña: The Great Learning.

Through the lens of Gómez-Egaña’s The Great Learning, Félix-Antoine Gélineau will examine a question at the confluence of epistemology and the philosophy of art: how does an artwork’s ability to enrich our perspectives relate to its artistic merit? Gélineau will explore how artists, performers—such as the exhibition’s “Orchestrators”—and audiences collaborate in learning and sense-making through art. Along the way, Gélineau will also discuss whether the idea that artistic merit is influenced by what and how we learn from art is compatible with the view that art is valuable for its own sake.

This will be a hybrid event with a live video that can be streamed here at 5:30 PM.
