He received his doctorate from the University of Michigan . During the course of his career he taught at Vassar College , Ohio State University , and Brandeis University . He married Margaret Weitz , a notable academic on French issues . Their son , Richard Weitz , is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute . Weitz ' groundbreaking publication is titled `` The Role of Theory in Aesthetics . '' This work arguably spurred much debate within the philosophy of art and is part of a larger movement known as anti - essentialism . This movement was popular in the 1950s and is similarly defended by W . B . Gallie , W . E . Kennick , and Paul Ziff . Weitz ' s piece , however , is arguably the most popular anti - essentialist pieces , as well as one of the most debated pieces in twentieth century aesthetics . Weitz argued against the traditional essentialist methodology and proposed using Wittgenstein ' s family resemblance argument as an alternate method for identifying art objects . Weitz proposed that in asking `` what is art ? '' aestheticians were really asking the wrong question altogether . The question he believed needed to be fundamentally addressed instead was `` what kind of concept is ' art ' ? '' Weitz used this question to propel both his defense of Wittgensteinian family resemblances , as well as his defense of art as an `` open concept . '' Weitz is widely considered to have renewed interest within the analytical philosophy for aesthetics , where his claims have been challenged for over fifty years , most famously by Maurice Mandelbaum in the 1965 article `` Family Resemblances and Generalizations Concerning the Arts . '' Weitz later developed a philosophy of criticism , in which the critic must describe , interpret , evaluate , and finally theorize about the work in question .
