  • The Crisis of No Crisis

    Mark C TaylorARTICLEAngelaki2025

  • The Lower Criticism

    Mark Taylor, Mark C TaylorARTICLERepresentations2020

    This essay reassesses Matthew Arnold's place in the history of modern criticism, arguing that his most important contribution to that history was his refashioning of the critic as an empty and recessive type of agent. Arnold's famous call for criticism to abandon the "sphere of practical life" was no mere slogan, but the product of an extended meditation on the nature of agency and action, undertaken in dialogue with the works of the philosopher …

  • The aesthetic turn

    Open AccessMark Taylor, Mark C TaylorARTICLEApproaching Religion2016

    This paper considers alternative styles of philosophy, based on art or science, through an investigation of Rudolf Carnap and Martin Heidegger. Carnap's criticism of Heidegger's account of das Nichts is analysed in relation to Immanuel Kant's theory of the imagination. Heidegger's account of the work of art demonstrates philosophies that take science as their model, over-emphasize cognition, and do not adequately consider the importance of appreh…

  • Refiguring the Spiritual: Beuys, Barney, Turrell, Goldsworthy

    Soren Kierkegaard, Mark C TaylorBOOKRefiguring the spiritual2012

    Mark C. Taylor provocatively claims that contemporary art has lost its way. With the art market now mirroring the art of finance, many artists create works solely for the purpose of luring investors and inspiring trade among hedge funds and private equity firms. When art is commodified, corporatized, and financialized, it loses its critical edge and is transformed into a financial instrument calculated to maximize profitable returns. Joseph Beuys…

  • Financialization of Art

    Mark C TaylorARTICLECapitalism and Society2011Cited by: 6

    Art and money have always been inseparable. During the past several decades, however, this relationship has been transformed by a new form of capitalism - finance capitalism, which has been made possible by the networking of new information, media and communication technologies. This is a genuinely novel phenomenon whose global impact has become undeniable. In previous forms of capitalism (agriculture, industrial and consumer), people made money …

  • Field Notes from Elsewhere: Reflections on Dying and Living

    Mark Taylor, Mark C TaylorBOOKField Notes from Elsewhere2009

    In the fall of 2005, Mark C. Taylor, the controversial public intellectual and widely respected scholar, suddenly fell critically ill. For two days a team of forty doctors, many of whom thought he would not live, fought to save him. Taylor would eventually recover, but only to face a new threat: surgery for cancer. "These experiences have changed me in ways I am still struggling to understand," Taylor writes in this absorbing memoir. "After the p…
