"George Dickie's Art and Value is an elegant restatement of
the virtues of the institutional theory of art and his conception
of artistic evaluation. This lively and trenchant riposte to
critics will ensure that his work remains much discussed and will
prove to be an invaluable resource for students." Matthew
Kieran, University of Leeds.
"Professor Dickie does an excellent job combining and
articulating the insights accumulated during his long career in the
philosophy of art. Of special significance is his discussion of how
'what is art' relates to 'what is good art?" George Bailey, East
Carolina University.
