Aesthetic Discovery and Seeking to Understand
The overriding aim of this paper is to defend the view that the hallmark of aesthetic experience is best conceived of as a seeking to understand. Understanding, in this sense, is not merely an additional reward which a limited set of aesthetic engagements can lead to under specific circumstances. Rather, it lies at the heart of what it is to experience our world aesthetically. This claim is also a cornerstone of the noetic conception of aesthetic…
(What) Do We Owe Beautiful Objects? A Case for Aesthetic Obligations
This paper has two main aims. The first is to examine our normative relations to artworks and cultural artefacts threatened by damage or destruction. The second aim is to develop an argument for the notion of aesthetic obligation, offering an alternative model of explanation of our normative relations to artworks and cultural artefacts which relies neither exclusively on the object of appreciation ('object-oriented approach') nor on the appreciat…
Evaluating Art Morally
What is the value of art? Standard responses draw on the different kinds of value that we tend to ascribe to individual artworks. In that context, none have been more significant than aesthetic value and moral value. To understand what makes an artwork valuable we then need to examine the interaction between these two kinds of value and how this contributes (or not) to the artwork's final value. The main aim of this article is to highlight two ar…

Taste and Objectivity: The Emergence of the Concept of the Aesthetic
Can there be a philosophy of taste? This paper opens by raising some metaphilosophical questions about the study of taste - what it consists of and what method we should adopt in pursuing it. It is suggested that the best starting point for philosophising about taste is against the background of 18th-century epistemology and philosophy of mind, and the conceptual tools this new philosophical paradigm entails. The notion of aesthetic taste in part…
Towards a Reasonable Objectivism for Aesthetic Judgements
This paper is concerned with the possibility of an objectivism for aesthetic judgements capable of incorporating certain ‘subjectivist’ elements of aesthetic experience. The discussion focuses primarily on a desired cognitivism for aesthetic judgements, rather than on any putative realism of aesthetic properties. Two cognitivist theories of aesthetic judgements are discussed, one subjectivist, the other objectivist. It is argued that whilst the s…
