The book presents a compelling defense of art's autonomy amidst the rise of post-critical theories that challenge this concept. Kim West critiques prominent arguments against art's independence, addressing claims that it is a myth, linked to elitism, and perpetuates the notion of a free, rational subject. By engaging with these critiques, West proposes a contemporary understanding of art's autonomy, emphasizing its relevance in today's cultural landscape. This work is a significant contribution to ongoing debates in aesthetics and the philosophy of art.
