Reading The Role of Theory in Aesthetics | Alexandria
Read The Role of Theory in Aesthetics by Morris Weitz. Shattering art theory's foundations, Weitz's revolutionary paper dismantles the quest for fixed definitions of art, arguing that the very attempt to define art limits its evolving nature. His "open concept" theory anticipated today's boundary-pushing NFTs and AI art, proving that art's undefinability is its strength, not weakness.
