Summary: "Lectures on Art, Delivered Before the University of Oxford in Hilary Term, 1870" by John Ruskin is a collection of lectures focused on the principles and philosophies surrounding art, presented in the late 19th century. This series of lectures examines the intricate relations between art and various aspects of human life such as religion, morality, and education. Ruskin's work critically engages with the purpose of art, advocating for its significance as a means of societal and personal enlightenment. At the start of the lectures, Ruskin expresses the gravity of his task in introducing a new element into the educational framework at Oxford, emphasizing the transformative power of art. He outlines a shift in educational philosophy, advocating for a curriculum that integrates practical applications of art in relation to moral and ethical development, rather than relying solely on traditional academic subjects. He also critiques the current state of the arts in England, highlighting the need for greater self-awareness among artists regarding their societal impact, and setting the stage for a more profound exploration of the interplay between art, culture, and the moral landscape in subsequent lectures.
