What is the current critical assessment of Danto and his body of work? And how have Danto’s own views changed on the nature and meaning of art? In this fully revised and expanded edition of \u003ci\u003eDanto and His Critics\u003c\/i\u003e, leading Danto scholars offer their updated critical assessments of the works and ideas of the Johnsonian Professor Emeritus in the Department of Philosophy at Columbia University and long-time art critic for \u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e. While Danto has authored several influential books and essays on the nature of knowledge, action, aesthetics, history, and mind, he is best known for his provocative thoughts on the philosophy of art. In addition to the many insightful essays featured in the first edition – along with responses by Danto – this volume contains five completely new chapters, numerous postscripts to the original essays, and a revised “Replies to Critics” section. And in a fascinating new afterword, Danto reflects on how his life as an artist before taking up philosophy shaped and informed his ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy offering such a comprehensive, integrated, and incisive treatment of Arthur Danto’s work, the second edition of \u003ci\u003eDanto and His Critics\u003c\/i\u003e reveals great insights into the state of contemporary art from the mind of one of the major shapers of recent aesthetic theory.\u003c\/p\u003e  Danto and his Critics was always the best place to find illuminating discussions of Danto's work, especially his philosophy of art.
