Resumo: | This article addresses Maurice Mandelbaum's criticism of anti-essentialism in Wittgensteinian-oriented art. Mandelbaum criticizes the common position of Paul Ziff, Morris Weitz and Willian Kennick according to which the definition of the concept of art cannot be established in essentialist terms. According to Mandelbaum, the anti-essentialist thesis fails because it is based on observable properties to claim that there is no necessary and sufficient property that runs through the set of all works of art. In this sense, the definition of the concept of art could be established through relational properties. Mandelbaum's attack focuses on the notion of family resemblance developed by Ludwig Wittgenstein in Philosophical Investigations. In his interpretation of that notion, Mandelbaum assumes that Wittgenstein would be referring to directly displayed properties. However, the article argues that Mandelbaum's critique is not justified as it ignores the distinction between seeing and seeing as that Wittgenstein himself performs in passage XI of his mentioned work. |

Mandelbaum tece críticas posição comum de Paul Ziff, Morris Weitz e Willian Kennick segundo a qual a definição do conceito de arte não poder ser estabelecida em termos essencialistas. De acordo com Mandelbaum, a tese antiessencialista falha porque se pauta em propriedades observáveis para alegar que não há propriedade necessária e suficiente que percorre o conjunto de todas as obras de arte. Nesse sentido, a definição do conceito de arte poderia ser estabelecida mediante propriedades relacionais. O ataque de Mandelbaum se concentra na noção de semelhança de família desenvolvida por Ludwig Wittgenstein nas Investigações Filosóficas. Em sua interpretação da referida noção, Mandelbaum pressupõe que Wittgenstein estaria se referindo a propriedades diretamente exibidas. Todavia, o artigo defende que a crítica de Mandelbaum não se justifica pois ignora a distinção entre ver e ver como que o próprio Wittgenstein realiza na passagem XI de sua mencionada obra.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2022-06-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/281610.31977/grirfi.v22i2.2816Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 22 n. 2 (2022); 74-872178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2816/1719Copyright (c) 2022 Marco Gobattohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGobatto, Marco2022-06-19T21:39:02Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2816Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2022-06-19T21:39:02Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false |
