The Philosophy of Modern Art belongs first on the philosophy and psychology shelf, but it becomes more useful when the reader treats category as a doorway rather than a verdict. The book also reaches toward business and growth, which is why a single shelf label would be too narrow for The Philosophy of Modern Art.
