What is it to be a work of art? Renowned author and critic Arthur C. Danto addresses this fundamental, complex question. Part philosophical monograph and part memoiristic meditation, "What Art Is challenges" the popular interpretation that art is an indefinable concept, instead bringing to light the properties that constitute universal meaning. Danto argues that despite varied approaches, a work of art is always defined by two essential criteria: meaning and embodiment, as well as one additional criterion contributed by the viewer: interpretation. Danto crafts his argument in an accessible manner that engages with both philosophy and art across genres and eras, beginning with Plato's definition of art in The Republic, and continuing through the progress of art as a series of discoveries, including such innovations as perspective, chiaroscuro, and physiognomy. Danto concludes with a fascinating discussion of Andy Warhol's famous shipping cartons, which are visually indistinguishable from the everyday objects they represent. Throughout, Danto considers the contributions of philosophers including Descartes, Kant, and Hegel, and artists from Michelangelo and Poussin to Duchamp and Warhol in this far-reaching examination of the interconnectivity and universality of aesthetic production.

入门级别，基本观点都有提到：20世纪是传统艺术的终结；身体问题在美学话题中的再现，与德国古典哲学传统中的判断不同，丹托自己的语言是“动作的哲学”（philosophy of action）；艺术史与修复问题也回到了黑格尔和历史哲学；最后提了关于美学的学科定位，以及为何唯独哲学系对解构主义免疫。
评分1)Art works are embodied meanings. The double criteria of meaning and embodiment are necessary and sufficient conditions for something being a work of art, thus aesthetics is part of art but not a part of definition of art 2)everything can be art & everything is art are two different assumptions 3)Kant ‘spirit’ and Hegel ‘absolute spirit’

评分丹托新出的一本小册子，随笔式写法，读起来比较容易。
评分确实散文，行文极为散漫，作为学术阅读非常痛苦，但全书最后一段将aesthetics和海德格尔的stimmung联系并且总结了aesthetics的意义，绝对全书高光，值得加一星。
