C. E. Emmer

C. E. Emmer earned a PhD in philosophy at Stony Brook University (New York) after extensive studies in Germany as a fellow of the Collegium Philosophiae Transatlanticum. His research concentrates on aesthetics, particularly the question of "kitsch" and issues surrounding Immanuel Kant's theories of the beautiful, the sublime, and art. His work often deals with media and technology such as television, mass-produced painting, Internet debates, and fractal art. He currently teaches at Emporia State University in Kansas (USA), where his favorite courses are aesthetics and "Slavery, Revolution, and God" (nineteenth-century philosophy). He also has experience in the New York City art and theater world.
