Jean Marie Schaeffer
Jean-Marie Schaeffer (b. 1952 ) is a philosopher of aesthetic reception and the definition of art. He is a researcher at CNRS and director of studies at EHESS.
Specialist of aesthetic and philosophical theory of art , his works are divided between two approaches:
- philosophical analysis of the field of aesthetics and art: the history of philosophical aesthetics, conceptual analysis of artistic and aesthetic concepts
- study of specific objects related to the field of art: photographic image, fiction, narrative, literary genres ...
All of his research based methodological tools of structural analysis and analytic philosophy and builds on the achievements of the philosophy of "naturalist" of the mind, cognitive science and anthropological studies.
His current work focuses on the evolutionary and cognitive basis of the aesthetic relationship, the interaction between "art" and "aesthetic" and the links between competence fictional conceived as psychological ability and art of fiction.
Since 2006 he is director of the CRAL (Centre for Research on the arts and language).
