BEYOND ESSENTIALISM<br />
‣ Many philosophers tried to discover the essence<br />
of art.<br />
‣ That was motivated by the question: ‘What is<br />
art?’<br />
‣ The presupposition > by carefully studying what<br />
art is its essence would be brought to light.<br />
‣ Especially modern art shows that this quest is<br />
vain > it is an illusion to think that the properties<br />
of an object make it a work of art.<br />
‣ That is what the Readymades of Marcel<br />
Duchamp show.
