Authenticity in Aesthetics
Authenticity is an important and widely used concept in aesthetics. Yet it is also a contested and elusive one. In this article, we clarify the concept of authenticity as it is used in aesthetic discourse. Authenticity, we argue, is a term used to assert the truth of something possessing some contextually relevant feature that it is purported to have. Typically, however, this has an evaluative or normative dimension: the feature that an authentic…
Structural Universals, Types and Musical Works
The view of musical works as structural universals has been recently presented as a plausible candidate to explain the nature of works of Western classical music. According to A. R. J. Fisher (Erkenntnis 88:1245–1267, 2023), this view explains five basic intuitions about musical works’ nature: manifestation, repeatability, creatability, destructibility and persistence after the composer’s death. Fisher argues that the structural universalist view…
The artifactual duality of architecture and its ontological implications for legal protection
This paper analyzes the peculiarity of some architectural works being artifacts designed to on a par perform typically divorced functions. Like technical artifacts, they are primarily intended to fulfill specific practical functions related to our everyday life. Simultaneously, some of them are intended to primarily perform an artistic function as well. This artifactual duality involves relevant challenges for determining their ontological nature…
A twist on the historically authentic musical performance
Methodological worries on recent experimental philosophy of music
This paper discusses methodological issues of two recent experiments conducted by Christopher Bartel, and Elzė S. Mikalonytė and Vilius Dranseika, respectively, about the repeatability and individuation of musical works. I argue, first, that the reliability of their results about people’s intuitions in our everyday musical practices can be questioned due to the use of descriptions instead of musical stimuli of the works and performances involved …
Descriptivism and the Determination Thesis
The determination thesis is the idea that art-ontological facts are determined by the folk ontological conception of artworks embedded in our artistic practices. From this thesis, descriptivism in the metaontology of art has been often characterized as the view that the task of art-ontology is to describe that folk conception. Amie Thomasson and Andrew Kania provide two paradigmatic accounts within this path. In this paper, I argue that this desc…
