  1. A Non-modal Conception of Secondary Properties.Manuel García-Carpintero - 2007 - Philosophical Papers 36 (1):1-33.
    There seems to be a distinction between primary and secondary properties; some philosophers defend the view that properties like colours and values are secondary, while others criticize it. The distinction is usually introduced in terms of essence; roughly, secondary properties essentially involve mental states, while primary properties do not. In part because this does not seem very illuminating, philosophers have produced different reductive analyses in modal terms, metaphysic or epistemic. Here I will argue, firstly, that some well-known examples fail, and (...)

  • Art and its Objects.Richard Wollheim - 1968 - Cambridge, United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press. Edited by Richard Thomas Eldridge.
    Richard Wollheim's classic reflection on art considers central questions regarding expression, representation, style, the significance of the artist's intention and the essentially historical nature of art. Presented in a fresh series livery for the twenty-first century, with a specially commissioned preface written by Richard Eldridge, illuminating its continuing importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, Art and its Objects continues to be a perceptive and engaging introduction to the questions and philosophical issues raised by works of art and the part they (...)

  • Aesthetic Testimony.Jon Robson - 2012 - Philosophy Compass 7 (1):1-10.
    It is frequently claimed that we can learn very little, if anything, about the aesthetic character of an artwork on the basis of testimony. Such disparaging assessments of the epistemic value of aesthetic testimony contrast markedly with our acceptance of testimony as an important source of knowledge in many other areas. There have, however, been a number of challenges to this orthodoxy of late; from those who seek to deny that such a contrast exists as well as attempts by those (...)

  • Kritik der Urteilskraft: Beilage: Erste Einleitung in Die Kritik der Urteilskraft.Immanuel Kant - 2009 - Meiner, F.
    Der Schrift liegt die Einsicht zugrunde, daß auch die reflektierende Urteilskraft auf einem Prinzip a priori beruht, nämlich dem der Zweckmäßigkeit. Im ersten Hauptteil widmet sich Kant der ästhetischen Beurteilung der Zweckmäßigkeit der Formen der Natur für unsere Erkenntnisvermögen. Im zweiten Hauptteil erörtert er die Frage, inwieweit wir der Natur selbst eine objektive Zweckmäßigkeit ihrer Formen zuschreiben können. Im Zentrum stehen dabei die Begriffe des Naturzwecks und der sich selbst organisierenden Wesen. Auf eine teleologische Beurteilung der Natur kann dort nicht (...)

  • The Essence of Response-Dependence.Ralph Wedgwood - 1997 - European Review of Philosophy 3:31-54.
    Many philosophers have thought that colours or flavours or values are in some way less objective than shape or mass or motion. This paper explores the approach to capturing this thought that is based on the idea of ‘ response-dependence ’. First, it is argued that the conceptions of response-dependence developed by Mark Johnston, Philip Pettit and Crispin Wright fail to capture this thought adequately. Then, the rest of the paper proposes an alternative conception, based in part on Kit Fine's (...)
