艺术长久以来就吸引和困惑着哲学家。从古典时代起,他们就试图理解它。早期的讨论倾向于探求艺术现象的性质,艺术是什么等等。在现代,关于什么是艺术的问题已转向经验的观念这个中心。现在通常认为,当十八世纪现代美学第一次出现的时候,发生了从艺术的存在向对它的经验的转变。 Art has long attracted and puzzled philosophers. From the classical age, they tried to understand it. Early discussions tended to explore the nature of artistic phenomena, what art was, and so on. In modern times, the question of what art is has shifted to the notion of experience. Now it is generally assumed that when the modern aesthetics of the eighteenth century first appeared, a shift took place from the existence of art to the experience of it.
