The philosophical discourses and debates of art and art history had been held in the Europe since Hellenic age. The most acceptable or common concept of art were emerged relatively late until the time of Renaissance. It has been announced that the research on art history are also established in the same time. But the discipline of art history had found it's own way after the 18(superscript th) century. Not to mention the prosperous development of 19(superscript th) century's historical-methodological research in this field. In order to articulate the philosophical differences of art writing and art-historical writing, I have described the shade and auras of some basic concepts in philosophy of art history such as art, history and writing. With the introduction of their operational modes, I have also shown the stages of development of the western art histories.
