Aesthetic terms, metaphor, and the nature of aesthetic properties
Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism 63 (1):27–32 (2005)
Abstract
The paper argues that an important class of aesthetic terms cannot be used as metaphors because it is impossible to commit a category mistake with them. It then uses this fact to provide a general definition of 'aesthetic property'.Author's Profile
