Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to inquire about the polysemicexperience of art based on two key theses. The first one states that art providesa non-trivial knowledge of an important area of the world. The second onestates that this kind of knowledge might be non-conceptual. Both are basedon the idea that art not only possesses a final and absolute unit of meaning,but that it also generates clusters of meaning that are permanently recreated,even if a standard meaning is identifiable.
