This article summarizes the characterization of substantive arts in the work of Gustavo Bueno. The definition of substantive art as that which exists outside the prose of life is discussed, but it is noted that this characteristic does not allow it to be distinguished from other forms of art such as the ludic and the sacred. The difference between substantive arts and adjectival arts is also explored, as well as the comparison between substantive arts and sciences. The importance of the spectator in works of art is raised, and the elimination of the subject in substantive arts is questioned. Additionally, the topic of purpose in substantive arts is addressed, and the criteria used by Bueno to characterize them are analyzed. [Extracted from the article]
