Abstract

By using Nelson Goodman’s strategy to place Art within the range of a theory of symbols, this paper argues about the pertinence of placing when is functioning as what is regarding Design. From the three conditions for the existence of Art in Goodman’s text “When is Art” representation, expression and exemplification, the paper discusses three correspondent previous conditions: presentation, impression and authentication, which are used to propose a delimitation of Designology.
