For much of the last half-century, George Dickie has been one of
the preeminent philosophers of art in the Anglo-American tradition,
deeply influencing the generations of theorists who have followed.
He is most frequently associated with his "institutional theory of
art," which situates the classification of objects as artworks in
social practices and institutions, rather than in the ontology of
objects or in features of human psychology. "
Art and Value" focuses broadly on questions of history, methods,
and the nature of art theories, as well as the value and evaluation
of art. The discussions are crisp and clear, and the conclusions
are consistently illuminating.
This book serves as a valuable primer to aesthetics, as well as
a summary and extension of Dickie's contribution to the field.
