Notă biografică

Scott Walden's interest in photographic theory emerges from his training in philosophy and his practice of photography. His philosophical work has been published in the British Journal of Aesthetics, and his photographic work in Places Lost: In Search of Newfoundland's Resettled Communities (2003). In 2007 he was awarded the Duke and Duchess of York Prize in Photography by the Canada Council for the Arts. He is currently Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Nassau Community College.

Descriere

Photography and Philosophy takes an up-to-date look at the issues of photographic truth, objectivity, and realism. It tests the limits on what can ethically be done with a camera and examines the fundamental differences between photographic and non-photographic artwork.
