The topic
Philosophers of art are currently looking deeper into artforms and art-related practices that have so far raised only limited debate – for instance: site-specific art, installation art, artwork restoration, culinary art, fashion as art, conceptual art, architecture, photography and videography. The aim of the volume is to collect original, well-argued contributions exploring new directions in the philosophy of art. We welcome papers discussing under-researched artforms or art-related practices and focusing on issues concerning, for instance, artwork metaphysics, artwork ontology, artwork phenomenology, aesthetic appreciation, artistic value, artistic content, authorial intentions, art media, art genres, or artistic style.
The journal
Philosophical Inquiries is a double-blind peer-reviewed scholarly journal.
