Abstract
Discussions related to the field of works of art and the introduction of handicraft products to this domain is one of the most important issues that has occupied many minds over the past decade and has caused many controversies.But so far little attention has been paid to the possibilities of philosophy of art and aesthetics to study this issue or at least its feasibility. While there are ideas and philosophies that can be used to study these issues or at least show the seriousness and impossibility of a definitive solution in the short term.

This article aims to give a very brief linguistic look at arts and crafts. And using the idea of three philosophies in three time periods to analyze the relationship between the two. And examine the possibility of handicraft products entering the field of works of art based on these three theories.

This issue is first studied based on the aesthetic theory of Immanuel Kant. And in the next step, based on the principles of John Dewey's pragmatism, this issue is discussed. It then focuses on this issue based on George Dickie's institutional theory. Finally, the results are presented.
