The Appreciation Game: A Monist Ontology of Works of Art

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 531-544, June 2026.
Abstract A pluralist ontology of art states that works of art can belong to distinct ontological categories whereas a monist ontology states that all works of art belong to one ontological category. A monist ontology would be preferable since it is more informative about the nature of art, and may pave the way for a definition of art.
