Philosophy of Art is a textbook for undergraduate students studying philosophical aesthetics. It introduces the techniques of analytic philosophy, as well as key topics such as the representational theory of art, formalism, neo-formalism, aesthetic theories of art, neo-Wittgensteinism, the Institutional Theory of Art and historical approaches to the nature of art.
