  • On the Relative Unimportance of Aesthetic Value in Evaluating Visual Arts

    Open AccessTomas KulkaARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2021References: 9

    Contrary to the received view according to which the value of works of art consists exclusively or primarily in their aesthetic value I argue that the importance of aesthetic value has been grossly overrated. In earlier publications I have shown that the assumption stipulating that the value of artworks consists exclusively in their aesthetic value is demonstrably wrong. I have suggested a conceptual distinction between the aesthetic and the arti…

  • False Metaphors and Nonsense

    Tomas KulkaARTICLEPoetics Today1992

    In my criticism of Professor Goodman's theory of metaphor (see How Metaphor Makes Its Wonders [this volume]), I have tried to show it doesn't give an account of metaphorical falsity (i.e., conditions under which a sentence, taken metaphorically, is false) and it also doesn't leave room for metaphorical falsehood. I don't think, as Professor Goodman's reply (see Contraverting a Contradiction [this volume]) seems to suggest, there is a conflict in …

  • How Metaphor Makes Its Wonders

    Tomas KulkaARTICLEPoetics Today1992

    The purpose of this paper to examine what Donald Davidson (1984 [1978]) calls of together with radical alternative which he proposes. The central idea of view that metaphor has a sense or meaning which differs from its literal meaning and that metaphor says true or false things about world, although its message might be more exotic, profound, or concealed than that of plain prose. This idea, as Davidson says, is found in works of literary critics…

  • The Artistic and Aesthetic Status of Forgeries

    Tomas Kulka, Nelson GoodmanARTICLELeonardo1982

    In the philosophy of art the following question is posed: Can there be any aesthetic value difference between an original painting and a forgery if they cannot be told apart, and, if so, what does it consist in? The author critically examines three currently held views in response to this question, including those of Nelson Goodman. He then turns his attention to both the aesthetic value and the artistic art-historical value of a painting, both o…
