- What is it that makes some human artifacts art (for example, a painting or a piece of music), while others (for example, the mass-produced classroom chair you are sitting in) are not art?
- Is a copy of a great painting itself a work of art?
- In what sense is art an imitation of reality?
- Does the appreciation of beauty make us better (more moral) human beings?
- What is your (personally) favorite work of art? How would you describe your relationship with it?
