«O que é a Arte?» is Nigel Warburton's essay on the philosophy of art, published by Bizâncio in paperback (172 pages, in Portuguese).
Nigel Warburton starts from a peacock presented at an exhibition to ask whether that is art. He reviews the theories of Clive Bell, Collingwood and Wittgenstein, and analyses the artist's intention, representation and emotion as keys to the debate. An accessible guide to the puzzle of artistic creation.
