Arthur Coleman Danto Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

From the 1990s until just before his death, the legendary art critic and philosopher Arthur C. Danto carried out extended conversations about contemporary art with the prominent Italian critic Demetrio Paparoni. Art and Posthistory presents these rich dialogues and correspondence, testifying to the ongoing importance of Danto's ideas.

V knize, která vznikla na základě přednášek pronesených v rámci prestižního cyklu na počest A. W. Mellona, se americký filozof Arthur C. Danto vrátil k jedné z nejprovokativnějších tezí, které pronesl, totiž že umění dospělo ke konci. Tento konec v jeho pojetí neznamená, že se umění přestalo vytvářet, ale že v šedesátých letech 20. století opustilo tradiční dějiny založené na pokroku. Pokud tomu tak je, vyvstává otázka, jak o současném umění přemýšlet jinak než v pojmech tradičního narativu. Tato publikace představuje v určitém smyslu odpověď: uvažuje o úloze muzea, roli estetiky, nutnosti změnit charakter kritiky, a především o svobodě, kterou přinesl pluralismus umění.

In this acclaimed work, first published in 1986, world-renowned scholar Arthur C. Danto explored the inextricably linked but often misunderstood relationship between art and philosophy. In light of the book's impact -- especially the essay "The End of Art," which dramatically announced that art ended in the 1960s -- this enhanced edition includes a foreword by Jonathan Gilmore that discusses how scholarship has changed in response to it. Complete with a new bibliography of work on and influenced by Danto's ideas, The Philosophical Disenfranchisement of Art continues to be of interest to anyone who thinks seriously about art, as well as to philosophers, aestheticians, and art historians.

What is it to be a work of art? Part philosophical monograph and part memoiristic meditation, this book challenges the popular interpretation that art is an indefinable concept, instead bringing to light the properties that constitute universal meaning.

Prvý preklad textov svetoznámeho filozofa a kritika umenia Arthura C. Danta do slovenčiny. Autor v knihe vychádza z pojmu krásy, ktorý je pevne zakotvený v estetickej teórii a filozofii umenia a pýta sa na jeho relevantnosť vo vzťahu k dianiu na poli súčasného výtvarného umenia. Je možné vnímaťho a definovať ako krásne alebo sú potrebné iné formy prístupu? Erudované úvahy Danto ilustruje príkladmi a analýzami diel Marcela Duchampa, Andyho Warhola, Roberta Motherwella, Barnetta Newmana a ďalších „heretikov“. Pritom vychádza z tvrdenia, že moderní umelci majú legitímne právo odmietnuť krásu, na druhej strane zároveň podčiarkuje potrebu krásy v ľudskom živote, a preto aj v umení. Dantova pútavá filozofia umenia je napísaná pozoruhodným a prístupným jazykom a okrem odborníkov určite zaujme aj prívržencov súčasného umenia.

"Arthur C. Danto's five volumes of review essays form a chronicle of the art world in our time, and a running appraisal of the great variety of significant work made in our midst." "In this new book, Danto shows how work that bridges the gap between art and life is now the definitive work of our time: Damien Hirst's arrays of skeletons and anatomical models, Barbara Kruger's tchotchke-ready slogans, Renee Cox's nude portrait of herself presiding at the Last Supper. To the obvious question - is this stuff really art? - Danto replies with an enthusiastic yes, explaining, with a philosopher's clarity and an art lover's delight, how these "unnatural wonders" show us who we are."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Arthur Danto's work has always affirmed a deep relationship between philosophy and art. These essays explore this relationship through a number of concrete cases in which either artists are driven by philosophical agendas or their art is seen as solving philosophical problems in visual terms. The essays cover a varied terrain, with subjects including Giotto's use of olfactory data in The Raising of Lazarus; chairs in art and chairs as art; Mel Bochner's Wittgenstein drawings; the work of Robert Motherwell, Andy Warhol, and Robert Irwin; Louis Kahn as "Archai-Tekt"; and visual truth in film. Also featured are a meditation on the battle of Gettysburg; and a celebration of the Japanese artist Shiko Munakata, an essay that is partly autobiographical.Arthur C. Danto is one of the most original and multitalented philosophers writing today, a thinker whose interests traverse the boundaries of traditional understandings of philosophy. Best known for his contributions to the philosophy of art and aesthetics, Danto is also esteemed for his work in the history of philosophy, the philosophy of history, philosophical psychology, and action theory. These two volumes, each with an introduction by the author, contain essays spanning more than twenty-five years that have been selected to highlight the inseparability of philosophy and art in Danto's work. Together they present the thinking of Arthur C. Danto at his very best.

The Madonna of the Future finds Danto at the point where all the vectors of the art world those of traditional painting, Pop art, mixed media, and installation art; those of art and philosophy; those of the specialist who brings theory to bear on the work and the viewer who appreciates it primarily visually.

Since 1984, when he became art critic for The Nation, Arthur C. Danto, one of America's most inventive and influential philosophers, has also emerged as one of our most important critics of art. As an essayist, Danto's style is at once rigorous, incisive, and playful. Encounters and Reflections brings together many of his recent critical writings -- on artists such as Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Robert Mapple-thorpe; and on the significance of issues like the masterpiece and the museum. The result is a spirited brief from the front lines of current aesthetic and philosophical debate

»Das ist Kunst. Das nicht.« Warum? Auf diese Frage gibt Danto eine Antwort, die - wiewohl hauptsächlich an Beispielen der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelt - auch für traditionelle Kunstwerke gilt und damit den Anspruch einer umfassenden Philosophie der Kunst stellen kann.

Danto argues that recent developments in art-in particular the production of works that cannot be told from ordinary things-make urgent the need for a new theory of art. He demonstrates the relationship between philosophy and art and the connections that hold between art, social institutions, and art history.

Jean-Paul Sartre: die intellektuelle und moralische Leitfigur einer ganzen Generation und ein Philosoph, der zu Lebzeiten seine Interpreten überforderte mit der Produktivität und Vehemenz seines Denkens. Deshalb herrscht noch heute ein bemerkenswerter Mangel an Gesamtdarstellungen zu Sartres Werk. Dantos Buch kann diesem Defizit abhelfen. Übersichtlich entwickelt er die Grundgedanken des Sartreschen philosophischen Systems.
