"In this clean and systematic book, John Dilworth presents an original and persuasive account of all artworks as particulars represented by their concrete presentations as paint on canvas, performances, play scripts, film negatives, and the like. These works in turn represent their subject matter, such as the fictional works I which Hamlet acts. Dilworth applies his theory across the arts and to a variety of issues, demonstrating that it has far-reaching implications for our philosophical understanding of the nature of art." - Stephen Davies, associate Professor of Philosophy, Univ. of Auckland, NZ, and quoted on the back cover of the book.
