The analytic philosophers writing here engage with the cluster of philosophical questions raised by conceptual art. They address four broad questions: What kind of art is conceptual art? What follows from the fact that conceptual art does not aim to have aesthetic value? What knowledge or understanding can we gain from conceptual art? How ought we to appreciate conceptual art? Conceptual art, broadly understood by the contributors as beginning with Marcel Duchamp's ready-mades and as continuing beyond the 1970s to include some of today's contemporary art, is grounded in the notion that the artist's "idea" is central to art, and, contrary to tradition, that the material work is by no means essential to the art as such. To use the words of the conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, "In conceptual art the idea of the concept is the most important aspect of the work . . . and the execution is a perfunctory affair." Given this so-called "dematerialization" of the art object, the emphasis on cognitive value, and the frequent appeal to philosophy by many conceptual artists, there are many questions that are raised by conceptual art that should be of interest to analytic philosophers. Why, then, has so little work been done in this area? This volume is most probably the first collection of papers by analytic philosophers tackling these concerns head-on.

“Bloodied and bruised [...] concussive, a bit chilling and thoroughly infectious – just like the music [it] celebrates” - Guardian This is the full, uncensored memoir of Goldie, one of Britain’s most influential DJs, producers, promoters, and record-label owners, whose contributions to the UK rave scene in the 1990s helped define the genres jungle and drum and bass. He is also a respected graffiti artist and actor. Born Clifford Joseph Price in Walsall in 1965, Goldie was put up for adoption and raised in a succession of child-care homes and foster families. By his early teens, he had become part of the burgeoning UK breakdance scene, performing in crews around Wolverhampton, and had started to make his name as a graffiti artist, the success of which led to a brief residence in the US. But it was Goldie’s involvement with the UK rave scene that really brought him into the public eye. In 1991, he was introduced to the emerging jungle scene by his girlfriend DJ Kemistry, and in 1992 he released his breakout track, "Terminator", under the name Metalheadz. It was a massive underground hit and pioneered the time-stretching technique which characterised much of ’90s breakbeat. The Metalheadz record label soon followed, as did the infamous Sunday night Metalheadz sessions at the Blue Note in Hoxton Square where, alongside DJs Kemistry and Storm, he established the frenetic, inclusive template of urban rave. A constant innovator – "[he] revolutionized jungle not once but thrice", according to Simon Reynolds – Goldie went on to become one of the most respected artists of the past three decades. He has also enjoyed a successful acting career in film and TV, has exhibited his art in London, Ibiza, and Berlin, and in 2016 he was awarded an MBE for services to music and young people.

All Things Remembered is the story of the man born Clifford J. Price -- jungle's most streetwise ambassador who went on to collect an MBE from Buckingham Palace. As one of Britain's most influential DJs, producers and record-label owners, Goldie's contribution to the UK rave scene in the 1990s with Metalheadz provided the blueprint for dubstep and grime. Here is the memoir of an extraordinary life, an explosive story of abuse, revenge, graffiti, breakdancing, gold teeth, sawn-off shotguns, car crashes, hot yoga, absent fatherhood and redemption through reality TV - all told in Goldie's unmistakeable, charismatic voice.
