[27] อ้างแล้ว. [Functional definitions : Monroe Beardsley's definition holds that an artwork:
“either an arrangement of conditions intended to be capable of affording an experience

with marked aesthetic character or (incidentally) an arrangement belonging to a class or

type of arrangements that is typically intended to have this capacity” (Beardsley, 1982,
p. 299).] [For more on Beardsley : Beardsley, Monroe. (1982). The Aesthetic Point of

[28] อ้างแล้ว. [Functional definitions : Zangwill's aesthetic definition of art says that

something is a work of art if and only if someone had an insight that certain aesthetic

properties would be determined by certain nonaesthetic properties, and for this reason
the thing was intentionally endowed with the aesthetic properties in virtue of the

nonaesthetic properties as envisaged in the insight (Zangwill, 1995).] [For more on

["Art," itself, is an open concept. New conditions (cases) have constantly arisen and will

undoubtedly constantly arise; new art forms, new movements will emerge, which will

demand decisions on the part of those interested, usually professional critics, as to

whether the concept should be extended or not. Aestheticians may lay down similarity
conditions but never necessary and sufficient ones for the correct application of the

concept. With "art" its conditions of application can never be exhaustively enumerated

since new cases can always be envisaged or created by artists, or even nature, which

would call for a decision on someone's part to extend or to close the old or to invent a

new concept. (E.g., "It's not a sculpture, it's a mobile.") (Weitz, 1956, 30)]
