Such philosophy can consequently neglect questions about why and how things matter at all. \u003cem\u003eAesthetic Dimensions of Modern Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e explores the idea that, because they offer responses to existential questions of meaning, art and aesthetics are vital for the future of philosophy. Andrew Bowie regards the development of modern scepticism, not primarily as an epistemological problem to be solved, but rather as a symptom of how traditional ways of making sense of the world are disrupted in modernity. The modern attention to art and aesthetics is a response to this disruption, and is explored in Montaigne, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Schelling, the early German Romantics, Hegel, and Cassirer. The work of Karl Polanyi, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Adorno, Dewey, and others can suggest how the modern sciences and capitalism change humankind's relationship to nature, and so transform the significance of art, such that art can become a kind of philosophy, and philosophy a kind of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Bowie \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndrew Bowie is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and German at Royal Holloway, University of London.
