George Dickie, What Is Art? - The Institutional Definition Of Work Of Art - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher of art, George Dickie's article "What Is Art? An Institutional Analysis". Specifically it examines Dickie's attempt to provide a new "institutional" definition of "work of art". This is meant to be a classificatory, rather than evaluative definition, and makes reference to his conception of the "artworld".
