Abstract
Abstract:Art, broadly understood, exists across cultures, and non-art objects can become works of art through acts of creative appropriation. Appropriators can be artists. A correct concept or definition of art will be adequate insofar as it tracks the metaphysics of art in general. Among the conditions something must meet to be a member of the class of artworks is that it was created with the intention that it serve a certain cultural role by which it represents or otherwise conveys meaning(s) or has assumed that role over time. It is an objective matter whether something is a work of art whatever conditions allowed for its creation and whatever meaning(s) it represents or otherwise conveys.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) is a highly respected interdisciplinary journal that focuses on clarifying the issues of aesthetic education understood in its most extensive meaning. The journal thus welcomes articles on philosophical aesthetics and education, to problem areas in education critical to arts and humanities at all institutional levels; to an understanding of the aesthetic import of the new communications media and environmental aesthetics; and to an understanding of the aesthetic character of humanistic disciplines. The journal is a valuable resource not only to educators, but also to philosophers, art critics and art historians.
