Philosophers see art as a vehicle of universal meaning, while art historians emphasize its historical nature. Many people believe that the flawed nature of art itself is responsible for this conflict, and the result is a general distrust of art. Michael Kelly calls this iconoclasm and discusses four iconoclastic philosophers.
