In this unprecedented collection; over twenty of the worlds most prominent thinkers on the subject including Arthur Danto; Stephen Melville; Wendy Steiner; Alexander Nehamas; and Jay Bernstein ponder the disconnect between these two disciplines. The volume has a radically innovative structure: it begins with introductions; and centres on an animated conversation among ten historians and aestheticians. That conversation was then sent to twenty scholars for commentary and their responses are very diverse: some are informal letters and others full essays with footnotes. Some think they have the answer in hand; and others raise yet more questions. The volume ends with two synoptic essays; one by a prominent aesthetician and the other by a literary critic.This stimulating inaugural volume in the Routledge The Art Seminar series presents not one but many answers to the question; Does philosophy have anything to say to art history?
