It seems natural to think that there are aesthetic reasons for action and that an artist must be guided by such reasons as he or she begins work on the canvas or poem or symphony or marble. This latter supposition seems at odds, however, not only with classical inspiration theory but also with the views of one of the last century's most important philosophers of art, R. G. Collingwood. We propose an account of acting for an aesthetic reason inspired by G. E. M. Anscombe's Intention, specifically by her concept of 'practical knowledge', which we believe can accommodate Collingwood's reservations about the sort of knowledge of their ends, and of the means to those ends, which artists have as they engage in their creative activity.

出于审美原因行事

似乎自然而然地认为有采取行动的美学原因，并且艺术家在开始创作画布，诗歌，交响曲或大理石时必须受到诸如此类的原因的指导。然而，后一种假设似乎与古典灵感理论不符，而且与上世纪最重要的艺术哲学家之一RG科林伍德（RG Collingwood）的观点也不符。我们建议出于GEM Anscombe意图（特别是她的“实践知识”）的启发而出于审美原因行事，我们认为这可以容纳Collingwood对他们的目的和目的的知识的保留，从事创作活动时有哪些艺术家。
