How would aesthetic theory continue without the search for a definition of art?
When it comes to Weitz, Aesthetic theory is used to help define the quality of art and outline different arts. It's the attempts to find a deeper meaning to art that stems these aesthetic theories. The theories then help shape art of the time and attributes the variety in art and culture over time. Without these theories supporting new versions of art and changing old ones, the art world may grow stagnant and may not be able to advance. Weitz suggests that the field of aesthetic theory has plenty of merit and should be continued.
