About this title

Review:

"[Danto is] a fluent writer and cogent theoretician... A coherent treatise both accessible to critically aware general readers and of value to students and scholars of philosophy and art." -- Library Journal "Danto's view is an important corrective to naive formalism as well as to the recent 'institutional analysis of art'... The magnitude of the issues Mr. Danto's book raises is a mark of the book's importance." -- The New York Times Book Review "Danto's critical pieces -- witty and urbane essays -- are uniformly a joy to read." -- The Journal of Philosophy
