  • On Beauty and Wellformedness

    Open AccessPierre ParisARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2025References: 12

    Taking my cue from the longest-standing theory of beauty to date, which identified beauty with formal properties such as order, harmony, and proportion, I argue that wellformedness—understood under a tripartite account comprising abstract, categorial, and functional species—is a necessary condition for beauty, which itself comprises three corresponding species. To this end, I offer a new conception of wellformedness along with a clear taxonomy of…

  • Delineating beauty

    Open AccessPierre ParisARTICLERatio2024

    Philosophical aesthetics has recently been expanding its purview—with exciting work on everyday aesthetics, somaesthetics, gustatory aesthetics, and the aesthetics of imperceptibilia like mathematics and human character—reclaiming territory that was lost during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when the discipline begun concentrating almost exclusively on the philosophy of art and restricted the aesthetic realm to the distally perceptible. …

  • On the Importance of Beauty and Taste

    Open AccessPierre ParisARTICLERoyal Institute of Philosophy…2022

    We have all heard people say ‘Beauty is only skin-deep’, or ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’: our culture promulgates a conception of beauty as subjective, superficial, and independent of other values like moral goodness or knowledge and understanding. Yet our taste in beauty affects many aspects of our lives, sometimes playing a decisive – and often detrimental – role in areas as wide-ranging as our identity and self-esteem, our morally sa…

  • The Aesthetics of Ethics

    Open AccessPierre ParisARTICLEThe Journal of Value Inquiry2021

    Linda Zagzebski recently defended moral exemplarism, a new moral theory on which key moral terms are defined by direct reference to exemplars.Footnote1 The theory is meant as an alternative to theories like consequentialism and deontology and promises not only to contribute to unity and simplicity in ethical theory, but also to offer an account of, and practicable pathways to moral motivation and education, whilst serving as a bridge between phil…

  • Phronesis and the Knowledge-Action Gap in Moral Psychology and Moral Education

    Open AccessCatherine A Darnell, Catherine Darnell et al.ARTICLEHuman Development2019

    This article has two aims. First, to offer a critical review of the literatures on two well-known single-component solutions to the problem of a gap between moral knowledge and moral action: moral identity and moral emotions . Second, to take seriously the rising interest in Aristotle-inspired virtue ethics and character development within the social sciences: approaches that seem to assume that the development of phronesis (practical wisdom) bri…

  • The 'Moralism' in Immoralism

    Open AccessPierre ParisARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2019Cited by: 7

    According to immoralists, some artworks are better aesthetically in virtue of their immorality. A. W. Eaton recently offered a novel defence of this view, seeking to overcome shortcomings in previous accounts, thereby occasioning a reconsideration of immoralism. Yet, as I argue in this paper, Eaton’s attempt is unsuccessful, insofar as it consists partly of inadequately supported claims, and partly—and more interestingly, albeit paradoxically––of…

  • Art, Morality and Human Nature

    Open AccessPierre ParisARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2017

    ‘St Andrews Studies in Philosophy and Public Affairs’ is a series that aims ‘broadly, to engage philosophically in an analytical manner with issues of value and practice’ (ix). According to John Haldane and Ieuan Lloyd, editors of the present volume, the series in which Beardsmore’s major work, Art and Morality, first appeared in 1971 had a similar aim (ix).1 This collection of writings by the late Richard W. Beardsmore (1944–1997), whose work sp…

  • The Deformity-Related Conception of Ugliness

    Pierre Paris, Panos ParisARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2017Cited by: 1

    Ugliness is a neglected topic in contemporary analytic aesthetics. This is regrettable given that this topic is not just genuinely fascinating, but could also illuminate other areas in the field, seeing as ugliness, albeit unexplored, does feature rather prominently in several debates in aesthetics. This paper articulates a ‘deformity-related’ conception of ugliness. Ultimately, I argue that deformity, understood in a certain way, and displeasure…

  • Scepticism about Virtue and the Five-Factor Model of Personality

    Open AccessPierre ParisARTICLEUtilitas2016Cited by: 1References: 4

    Considerable progress in personality and social psychology has been largely ignored by philosophers, many of whom still remain sceptical concerning whether the conception of character presupposed by virtue theory is descriptively adequate. Here, I employ the five-factor model of personality, currently the consensus view in personality psychology, to respond to a strong reading of the situationist challenge, whereby most people lack dispositions t…
