Professor Clive Cazeaux

Professor of Aesthetics
Cardiff School of Art & Design - BA MA PhD

Overview

Clive Cazeaux is Professor of Aesthetics in the School of Art and Design at Cardiff Metropolitan University, Wales, UK. He joined the institution in 1996 as a Senior Lecturer, having previously taught at the University of Central England (now Birmingham City University) and Cardiff University.

The interest that motivates all of Clive’s research is the relation between art and philosophy, and the way the relation draws upon ideas from the history of aesthetics, from Kant to phenomenology. Particular interests within this include the philosophies of the senses, artistic research, and metaphor, especially the role metaphor plays in the way we carve up the world and think.

He is the author of The Phenomenology of Audio Drama (Routledge 2026), Art, Research, Philosophy (Routledge 2017) and Metaphor and Continental Philosophy: From Kant to Derrida (Routledge 2007), and the editor of The Continental Aesthetics Reader (Routledge 2011, 2nd edition).
