My Delicate Taste: Aesthetic Deference Revisited
Philosophers' Imprint (forthcoming)
Abstract
I suggest that none of the arguments for pessimism about aesthetic testimony succeeds against a plausible version of optimism. However, I claim also that pessimist intuitions have a certain pull that optimists must account for. My second task is to explain the force of pessimist intuitions by shedding new light on their source.Author's Profile
