Some come from the world of art (painting and photography) and some from that of science (physics, astrophysics, and microscopy). What these images have in common is that they all fail as representations: they are blurry, dark, pixelated, or otherwise inadequate to what they represent. Yet this is precisely why they are of interest. Studies that bring together art and science are often predicated on the idea that science influences art or vice versa. Elkins challenges this view and remains true to the material of each discipline."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 Representation (Philosophy) 650 0 Image (Philosophy) 650 0 Art and science. 856 41 |3Table of contents only |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0713/2007010175.html 900 AUTH |bTOC 942 |2ddc |cBK 948 1 20080326 |bc |crad1 |dMPS 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6701_000000000000000_ELK |70 |8REF |951708OSA |bOSA |d2015-07-28 |eOSA |l0 |o701 ELK |r2015-07-28 |w2015-07-28 |yBK |cReference 920 01 koj02yYO 992 01 701_000000000000000_ELK |bSZY_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_LEF 966 |cIn the Research Room
