SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHILOSOPHY THE LIMITS OF AR...

This open access book is about exploring interesting borderline cases of art. It discusses the
cases of gustatory and olfactory artworks (focusing on food)  proprioceptive artworks (dance 
martial arts  and rock climbing qua proprioceptive experiences)  intellectual artworks
(philosophical and scientific theories)  as well as the vague limits between painting and
photography. The book focuses on the author's research about what counts as art and what does
not  as well as on the nature of these limits. Overall  the author defends a very inclusive
view  'extending' the limits of art  and he argues for its virtues. Some of the limits
discussed concern our senses (our different perceptual modalities)  some concern vagueness and
fuzzy boundaries between different types of works of art  some concern the amount of human
intention and intervention in the process of creation of an artwork  and some concern the
border between art and science. In these various ways by understanding better such borderline
cases  Benovsky suggests that we get a better grip on an understanding of the nature of art.
