Philosophy and Art Criticism

 

 

 

 

The philosophy of art and art criticism have essentially different concerns.

 

Art criticism is a form of rhetoric, in which the critic works to get viewers to see things his way.

 

Philosophy has a different, deeper concern, describing the world as it really is.

簡單的說...

 

"藝術哲學與藝術評論有根本上的不同; 藝評提供自我觀點,

它屬於修辭學上之主觀詮釋."

 

然而, "闡述這世界的實際樣貌, 則是藝術更深遠的哲學真諦."

 

 

 

衍生之, 觀賞者必先覺察創作者是立基於:

內容與形式的誇飾 抑或 藝術表現的本質探索,

 

方能決定藝術家的視野高度, 思想深度, 與其作品的價值.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Arthur C. Danto

 

 

 

 

Our representations are mental states, and so
we can always ask whether they are truthful.

 We test a representation by examining its ability to match reality.

...Like our mental states that provide us with knowledge,
works of art are both mere things within the world
and representations of the world.
