Why should the state fund the arts?

And how does art contribute to democracy?

Based on critical theory and spanning philosophy, political science, economics, and more, the book attempts to provide a theoretical justification for state funding of the arts, while also carefully discussing the important contribution that art can make to democracy and civil society. This book is a powerful proposition based on extensive and precise considerations by an author who is both a philosopher and involved in the arts scene.
