Excerpts and commentary from

----

"Arthur C. Danto, a philosopher ... died on Friday at his home  in 
Manhattan." 
 

"Danto was a longtime philosophy professor at Columbia."
 
"Arthur Coleman Danto was born in Ann Arbor, Mich.,"

"Danto did graduate work in philosophy at Columbia University, and he  
studied with Maurice Merleau-Ponty in Paris."
 

Danto "avoided negative criticism, which he considered cruel".
 
--- The Wikipedia entry has some further info, including a list of his  
work. My favourite of his concepts is that of basic action -- narratologically  
speaking.
