El criterio artístico

The aesthetic theory has often been interested in aesthetic criterion – that one that discriminates or determines what art is and what is not, or whether if something is art or not – but it has rarely asked what are the artistic criteria and how they operate (understanding by artistic criteria those that are involved in creation or criticism). This article aims to provide a characterization of such criteria starting from their relationship with standard and judgement, elements that refer to the thought of Hume and Kant respectively. A review of the ideas of authors such as Stanley Cavell or Yves Michaud about the criteria is also presented.
