The book "Art and Action" addresses the profound question of whether art can be considered a form of action. It explores the relationship between artistic practices and the intentions underlying them. The contributions in this volume stem from the philosophical tradition of art and illuminate both the creation of art and its reception. Art is understood not only as a product but also as a purposeful action that pursues specific intentions. The discussions in the book provide valuable insights into the poetics of art and its significance in the context of action and intention. Readers are given the opportunity to reflect on the complex connections between art and action and to gain new perspectives on the role of art in society.
