Mr. Danto argues that recent developments in the artworld, in
particular the production of works of art that cannot be told from
ordinary things, make urgent the need for a new theory of art and
make plain the factors such a theory can and cannot involve. In the
course of constructing such a theory, he seeks to demonstrate the
relationship between philosophy and art, as well as the connections
that hold between art and social institutions and art history.
The book distinguishes what belongs to artistic theory from what
has traditionally been confused with it, namely aesthetic theory
and offers as well a systematic account of metaphor, expression,
and style, together with an original account of artistic
representation. A wealth of examples, drawn especially from recent
and contemporary art, illuminate the argument.
