Book Synopsis
Presents a theory about judging a work of art as opposed to a theory that says why a particular work is defined as art. This book synthesizes the insights of philosophers and art critics to discover what can be derived from their theories. It outlines all possible theories of art evaluation, assuming that traditional evaluative notions are used.

Trade Review
"Those who think they know George Dickie's views should be sure to read this book. They are in for some interesting surprises. Of course, those unfamiliar with Dickie's views will also learn a lot." --Anita Silvers, San Francisco State University
