The Cultural Space of the Arts and the Infelicities of Reductionism
Buch
The Cultural Space of the Arts and the Infelicities of Reductionism identifies a conceptual tendency that can be drawn from the work of the twentieth century's best-known analytic philosophers of art: Arthur Danto, Richard Wollheim, Kendall Walton, Nelson Goodman, Monroe Beardsley, Noël Carroll, and Jerrold Levinson, among others.

The Cultural Space of the Arts and the Infelicities of Reductionism identifies a conceptual tendency that can be drawn from the work of the twentieth century's best-known analytic philosophers of art: Arthur Danto, Richard Wollheim, Kendall Walton, Nelson Goodman, Monroe Beardsley, Noël Carroll, and Jerrold Levinson, among others. This trend threatens to impoverish our grasp and appreciation of the arts by not doing justice to the culturally informed nature of the arts themselves. Through his analysis, Margolis hopes to retrieve an adequate picture of the essential differences between physical nature and human cultureparticularly language, history, meaning, significance, the emergence of the human self or person, and the essential features of human lifeall to explain how such difference bears on our perception of paintings and literature. His brilliant work hopes to reestablish the center of gravity that is essential to a productive encounter with art.
