Arthur Danto's work has always affirmed a deep relationship between
philosophy and art. These essays explore this relationship through
a number of concrete cases in which either artists are driven by
philosophical agendas or their art is seen as solving philosophical
problems in visual terms. The essays cover a varied terrain, with
subjects including Giotto's use of olfactory data in "The Raising
of Lazarus; "chairs in art and chairs as art; Mel Bochner's
Wittgenstein drawings; the work of Robert Motherwell, Andy Warhol,
and Robert Irwin; Louis Kahn as "Archai-Tekt"; and visual truth in
film. Also featured are a meditation on the battle of Gettysburg;
and a celebration of the Japanese artist Shiko Munakata, an essay
that is partly autobiographical.
Arthur C. Danto is one of the most original and multitalented
philosophers writing today, a thinker whose interests traverse the
boundaries of traditional understandings of philosophy. Best known
for his contributions to the philosophy of art and aesthetics,
Danto is also esteemed for his work in the history of philosophy,
the philosophy of history, philosophical psychology, and action
theory. These two volumes, each with an introduction by the author,
contain essays spanning more than twenty-five years that have been
selected to highlight the inseparability of philosophy and art in
Danto's work. Together they present the thinking of Arthur C. Danto
at his very best.
