EBOOK Philosophy of Art
Opis
The Question of Definition
Drawing on the philosophies of art developed by the continental authors and studies of Anglo-American philosophers, this book presents a panorama of the philosophy of art. It discusses definitions offered from the analytical school including Arthur Danto&'s representationalism, Dipert&'s theories of artefactualism, Dickie&'s institutional and procedural theories and Levinson&'s historical and cultural theories. From the continental theories it reflects on Hegel&'s notion of philosophy of art, Martin Heidegger&'s and Hans Georg Gadamer&'s hermeneutic tradition and Alexius Meinong&'s theory of objects. This range of definitions and theories are judged and defended using a form of representationalism that begins with the results of Arthur Danto&'s thinking and integrates the aesthetic reflection of the Baumgarten School. The result is not only a presentation of philosophy of art from the beginning of the twentieth century to present day, but a study that proposes a theory capable of synthesizing the finest contributions of the analytic and continental traditions.
