REISSUE-Ep 16: Arthur Danto on Art (w/ New Intro)

<p>We newly introduce the classic 2010 episode on Danto's "The Philosophical Disenfranchisement of Art," "The Appreciation and Interpretation of Works of Art," and "The End of Art" (1986).</p> <p>What effect should the avant garde have on our understanding of what art is? Danto gives a picture of philosophy and art at war throughout history: Philosophy says that art can't get at truth and is otherwise useless, yet philosophers like Plato seem afraid of the power of art to corrupt. What's the deal?</p> <p>Want to hear more vintage, behind-the-paywall discussions like this?
