What, After All, Is a Work of Art?

What, After All, Is a Work of Art? directs our attention toward historicity, the inherent historied nature of thinking, art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and the artifactual, culturally emergent nature of both art art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and human selves. While these are familiar themes in Margolis`s well-known studies of art art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and culture, they are largely neglected in English-language aesthetics art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and even philosophy in general. Margolis brings these primary themes to bear on a number of strategically selected issues: the modernism/postmodernism dilute; the treatment of modernist art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and post-historical painting in Clement Greenberg art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and Arthur Danto; the coherence of relativism in interpreting art art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and the relevance of cultural relativity; the difference between artworks art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and persons as culturally constituted entities in contrast to natural entities art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and with regard to the logic of interpretation; the import of film on the theory of the relationship between understanding ourselves art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and understanding art, with special attention to the views of Walter Benjamin; art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and the propriety of the analogy between artworks art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and selves, as cultural entities, by way of treating the arts (also history, action, art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and language) as a form of human utterance. Although the argument is largely focused on certain particularly strenuous puzzles in the philosophy of art, the validity of Margolis`s claims are more far reaching. If, through incorporating the reality of physical art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and biological nature, the emergence of art art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and human selves cannot rest satisfactorily on exemplars selected from nature alone, then certain fashionable views of science, of canons of understanding, conceptual resources, logic, rationality, art culture religion tapestry zoroastrian and the like may well have to yield ground to ampler modelsthat have been largely marginalized or overridden. In particular, the admission of historicity, the nerve of Margolis`s argument, invites a decisive conceptual reorientation. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
