The Transfiguration Of The Commonplace by Arthur C. Danto
A Philosophy of Art
A philosophical investigation arguing that what turns ordinary objects into artworks is not their sensory properties but the meanings and interpretive frameworks that surround them; artworks are ordinary things ‘‘transfigured’’ by embodied meaning and the theories of the artworld, so recognizing and evaluating art requires philosophical reflection on interpretation, representation, and the limits of aesthetic perception.
