From a controversial reading of Plato's and Aristotle's contributions and by questioning some traditional concepts such as the autonomy of art, the new Transcendence Theory of Art emerges. As a methodological example of how to swap between theoretical analyses and art practice, it is a proposal for a fresh approach in some areas of philosophy. Christine Kunkler introduces concepts such as »Index-Art« and the »Aesthetic Syllogism« to open future fields of research in Philosophy. She also challenges Danto's »Art World« concept using the idea of the »Force Field of Art«. The study shows how a philosophical discussion of texts and images can be valuable for society, especially for the problem of fake news.
