Arthur C. Danto and the Idea of the End of Art

An American philosopher and aesthetician Arthur C. Danto and his theory of art are emphasized in this bachelor thesis. The crucial issues of the thesis are the clarification of Danto's term "Artworld" and the seeking of both the roots and the explanatory power of theory that proclaims end of art to that a brief look into the philosophy of G. W. F. Hegel and the writing Arthur Danto's The End of Art itself will be used. In the end of the work, this proposion will be analysed according to alternative perspectives of the philosophers Noël Carroll and Michael Kelly, in which case we hint at the question what this idea of the end of art means for the current art scene
