Defining Art, Creating the Canon

Meer over het boek

Exploring the nature of art, Paul Crowther presents a philosophical argument for the existence of distinctively artistic value grounded in aesthetic criteria. He challenges skeptics who claim that objective standards for good art do not exist, highlighting the importance of valuing art and establishing criteria for evaluating its quality. Through this analysis, Crowther seeks to defend the notion of art's inherent worth and the ability to differentiate between varying artistic works.
