== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Ontology of Art''' β The branch of philosophy concerned with the "Metaphysical Status" of artworks (e.g., 'Are they physical, mental, or abstract?'). * '''Autographic Art''' (Goodman) β Art where "The original matters" (e.g., 'A Painting' or 'A Statue'). A "Perfect Copy" is a "Forgery." * '''Allographic Art''' (Goodman) β Art where "The Notation is the art" (e.g., 'A Symphony' or 'A Novel'). Every "Copy" or "Performance" is the "Real Art." * '''Physicalism''' β The view that the artwork **IS** the physical object (The 'Canvas and Paint'). * '''Idealism''' (Collingwood) β The view that the artwork **IS** the "Idea" or "Image" in the "Artist's Mind," and the physical object is just a "Record" of it. * '''Type-Token Distinction''': ** '''Type''': The abstract work (e.g., 'The Song "Yesterday"'). ** '''Token''': Each specific instance (e.g., 'The MP3 playing on your phone' or 'The band playing it live'). * '''Eternalism''' β The view that "Musical Works" (Types) "Always existed" in the math of the universe, and the composer just "Discovered" them. * '''Creationism''' β The view that the artist "Actually Created" a new abstract entity that didn't exist before. * '''Artifact''' β An object made by a "Human" with a "Purpose." * '''Ontological Parsimony''' β The attempt to "Explain Art" with as "Few entities" as possible (e.g., 'Maybe only the physical object exists'). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
