The cluster theory of art
British Journal of Aesthetics 44 (3):297-300 (2004)
| Abstract | Berys Gaut has recently defended a cluster account of art. He proposes it as superior to other anti-essentialist positions. I argue that his defence of this claim is unconvincing. Not only is the cluster theory consistent with the current crop of disjunctive definitions, it is at its most plausible when seen in such terms. | |||||||||
