(From the Aesthetics of Form to the Aesthetics of Meaning. On A. Danto’s Aesthetic Turn)
Keywords:

Abstract
The Abuse of Beauty can be seen as the beginning of a “turn” in the philosophy of art of Arthur Danto, based on the conceptual divorce between art and aesthetics, through which he has vindicated a significant role for the aesthetic in the art of today. However, Danto is still reluctant to make aesthetics part of the definition of art. The paper analyzes some of his most relevant new concepts and examines their implications for that central thesis of his theory of art.Downloads
