Art and Religion XVII: Arthur Danto

read, I think the first chapter (pdf): 'The Philosophical Disenfranchisement of Art'

and his essay (pdf): 'The End of Art: A Philosophical Defense'

Listen to the entire podcast (2 hr discussion), and more info on Danto, at the Partially Examined Life

*if you haven't noticed, in some of these 'Art and Religion' posts I've been hinting and wondering what would happen if we substituted the term 'art' with 'religion' and whether the statement or argument could still apply.

In this case, in tribute to the late Arthur Danto, can we discuss 'the disenfranchisement of religion' or 'the end of religion'?
