Henning Tegtmeyer evaluates Hegel’s and Danto’s views of “the end of art.” Jonathan Le Cocq examines Karl Popper’s objections to progressivism in music. Frederick Turner presents a manifesto for a new avant-garde based on beauty, science, the general public as audience, and the reunion of “high” with “low” art.
