| Sumario: | There is a complaint that philosophy of art does not pay sufficient attention either to the functionality that defines many artworks, even to certain genres such as commemorative art, nor to the emotions that they raise: ordinary feelings seen as inappropriate responses to art. It is argued that the philosophical (autonomous) concept of art prevents this. The recent discussion on «functional beauty» supports this claim. However, Arthur Danto’s analysis of commemorative art allows a philosophical concept to be conciliated with the possible functionality of art and with the affections that it generates in ordinary people. |
