Keywords: criteria of passing the test of time; conditions of experiencing art; shifts of evaluation; role of the test of time as a judgment of merit
Summary/Abstract: The current article tackles the issue of the criteria of passing the test of time. I first focus on whether the criteria of passing the test of time can be formulated aesthetically. I then analyse the ‘temporal weaknesses’ of the test of time and possibilities of getting rid of them (e.g. abandoning the precondition of finalism). Finally, I consider the role of the test of time as a judgement of merit.
