| Title | Intention, history, and the four questions : an existential inquiry into the nature of art |
| Author | Ownbey, Kami L. |
| Abstract/Introduction | The purpose of this paper is an examination of the nature of art in order to determine not a definition of art, per se, but a defining process that will allow us to determine an object's art status without limiting its apparent and/or conceptual possibilities. I wish to make a very clear distinction between the terms 'definition' and 'defining process'. A definition of art, as I am treating the term, consists of a set of qualities and would take the form, 'A thing A is art if (possibly 'and only if') it contains the properties/qualities of X, Y, and Z'. A defining process, on the other hand, will consist of a single necessary condition and a set of questions. The defining process takes the form of an examination which should yield satisfactory answers without the need to construct qualifying sets. |
