Brill What is Art?: The Question of Definition Reloaded (Brill Research Perspectives in Art and Law)

Product Description What is art? is one of the classic questions that philosophy has addressed over the ages, from the ancients to today. A discussion of the primary literature of the field introduces a series of considerations used to shift the problem of definition onto new plane, one that is able to respond to the challenges of the performing and participatory arts, which more than any other form of art present particularly unconventional ontologies. About the Author Tiziana Andina is Associate professor of Philosophy at the University of Turin. She has published monographs and many articles on philosophy of art and aesthetics including The Philosophy of Art: The Question of Definition from Hegel to Post-Dantian Theories (Bloomsbury, 2013).
