Since the mid-1980s, Arthur C. Danto has been increasingly concerned with the implications of the demise of modernism, and out of the wake of modernist art has suggested that a radically pluralistic art world has emerged. His essays here discuss his vision of the art world and the implications it has for criticism. Horowitz and Huhn analyze in this text the constellation of philosophical and critical elements in Danto's new-Hegelian art theory. In order to do this, the critics employ themes from Kantian aesthetics to elucidate the continuing persistence of taste therein.

Editorial Reviews
Review
An excellent philosopher....A humanist is exactly what Danto is, and an enormously broad-minded one at that....One reads Danto because he really tries to throw the most positive light possible on the output of artists....I would venture that Danto is probably the most erudite writer regularly reviewing contemporary art, at least in English, and maybe in any language.
–Bookforum
Danto is an ideal critic for those who do not revel in mere paint....He's unbeatable at what he does....Danto offers a kind of access to art that few other critics do.
