- Title
LES CULS-DE-SAC OF ENLIGHTENMENT AESTHETICS: A METAPHILOSOPHY OF ART.
- Authors
CARROLL, NOËL
- Abstract
This article charts the rise and fall of the Modern System of the Arts and the failure of the aesthetic theory of art to define membership in the so-called system, which, instead, I argue, is and has been, for a long time, merely a historically evolved collection. Rather than endorsing the continued attempt to define Art with a capital A in terms of aesthetic experience, I recommend alternative lines of research for contemporary philosophers of the arts.
