Book Synopsis
What is art? What is it to understand a work of art? What is the value of art? Robert Stecker seeks to answer these central questions of aesthetics by placing them within the context of an ongoing debate criticising, but also explaining what can be learned from, alternative views.

Trade Review

“His book makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing debates and one can only admire Stecker’s mastery of so many subtle points and arguments.”

—Stein Haugom Olsen Philosophical Review


“Artworks offers a thorough, balanced, and incisive account of the important positions on this issue and makes an interesting and persuasive case for a position that is intuitively attractive.”

—Anita Silvers,San Francisco University
