Description
Since the mid-1980s, Arthur C. Danto has been increasingly concerned with the implications of the demise of modernism. Out of the wake of modernist art, Danto discerns the emergence of a radically pluralistic art world. His essays illuminate this novel art world as well as the fate of criticism within it. As a result, Danto has crafted the most compelling philosophy of art criticism since Clement Greenberg. Gregg Horowitz and Tom Huhn analyze the constellation of philosophical and critical elements in Danto's new- Hegelian art theory. In a provocative encounter, they employ themes from Kantian aesthetics to elucidate the continuing persistence of taste in shaping even this most sophisticated philosophy of art.

Media Reviews
"An excellent philosopher...A humanist is exactly what Danto is, and an enormously broad-minded one at that...One reads Danto because he really tries to throw the most positive light possible on the output of artists...I would venture that Danto is probably the most erudite writer regularly reviewing contemporary art, at least in English, and maybe in any language." -- Bookforum
"Danto is an ideal critic for those who do not revel in mere paint...He's unbeatable at what he does...Danto offers a kind of access to art that few other critics do." -- The New York Times Book Review
