Case Study: Introducing Philosophy of Art in Eight Case Studies by Derek Matravers

In this review article, I present and discuss some theories and arguments which we can find in Derek Matravers’s (2013) opinonated textbook on the philosophy of art. Texbook consists of an introduction and eight chapters, but only some of the most important claims are discussed: various theories and definitions of art, the notions of expression and value of art and artworks, as well as the question whether we can learn something from artworks, beside, of course, what is considered as artistic and aesthetic. A little more emphasize I gave on the notions of forgeries and on the concept of beauty in connection with the artworks.
