I am a STEM person taking a philosophy of art class, what am I in for? Is it going to be full of pretentious art students?

>> No.4037572

>what am I in for?
Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Adorno, Danto and Goodman hopefully

>Is it going to be full of pretentious art students?
Define 'pretentious'.

>STEM goofball trying to enrich himself

it'll go over your head and the only way you'll explain it is by calling it pretentious and trivial.

enjoy being a burden on the class.

college students are generally pretentious, it doesn't matter what course they are on.

well, not all college students, but I find that the course has no effect on how pretentious they are.

Your major has no relevance to what you are asking, you are pretty pretentious yourself.

STEM guys are usually snobbish about their majors online so lets not jump the gun here. You'll learn about Platos forms including beauty and virtue and then continue onward through history. I doubt it'll be pretentious, since it's all art and philosophy has no right answers.

Who are you to assume what he is asking?
To me it seems like he is calling on the aid of his fellow fedoras (or even normals) to help paint him a picture, using their experiences with a course such as this one, of what the course is going to be like for someone with autism.
His major is relevant in this case because it is being used as a label to identify the OP as one of those people who are "more analytical" and "have trouble taking things figuratively."

Aesthetics is mostly retarded topic within philosophy, don't take it too seriously, at least artists don't. And post-structural aesthetics is really bullshit.

Half of the course will be dealing with "omg the holocaust how do we make art after the 6 million."

I used to only focus on STEM courses. I thought humanities was "boring" and only for people who couldn't into math and that I was like the next Einstein or Stephen Hawking. That was when i was pretentious... Now that I'm putting more attention to the arts literature and humanities, I feel like I've completely changed. The most noticable thing is that I am not so damn socially awkward anymore. Sometimes thinking analytically is not all good. Definitely not, actually. Thinking in terms of people first has really helped me
