The philosophical theory of art has three main objectives: to shift the focus of aesthetics from the question "What is art?" to the question "What is art for?"; to describe the social and historical situation of art; and to combine aesthetics with poetics and hermeneutics. This book offers an argument that music exemplifies the condition of art.
