I then propose a definition of perfect artworks, which is in line with these facts. I imagine a potential objection to the definition and I conjecture a necessary condition for something to be artistic, which allows the objection to be avoided. Finally, we note that this condition establishes certain limits to minimalism in art.</p> Manuel Pérez Otero Copyright (c) 2025 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-04-01 2025-04-01 57 169 5 21 10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2025.1645 https://critica.filosoficas.unam.mx/index.php/critica/article/view/1646 <p>Alejandro Herrera Ibáñez, <em>Bioética animal, humana y ambiental.
