Pluralism, Eliminativism, and the Definition of Art Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Christopher Bartel,Jack M. C. Kwong
Traditional monist theories of art fail to account for the diversity of objects that intuitively strike many as belonging to the category art. Some today argue that the solution to this problem requires the adoption of some version of pluralism to account for the diversity of art. We examine one recent attempt, which holds that the correct account of art must recognize the plurality of concepts of

Susanne Langer on Music and Time Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Eran Guter,Inbal Guter
Susanne Langer’s idea of the primary apparition of music involves a dichotomy between two kinds of temporality: ‘felt time’ and ‘clock time’. For Langer, musical time is exclusively felt time, and in this sense, music is ‘time made audible’. However, Langer also postulates a ‘strong suspension thesis’: the swallowing up of clock time in the illusion of felt time. In this essay, we take issue with the

‘That They Point Is All There Is to It’: Wittgenstein’s Romanticist Aesthetics Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Clinton Peter Verdonschot
Why is aesthetics important to Wittgenstein? What, according to him, is the function of the aesthetic? My answer consists of three parts: first, I argue that Wittgenstein finds himself in an aporia of normative consciousness – that is to say, a problem with regard to our awareness of the world in terms of its relation to a norm. Second, I argue that the function of Wittgenstein’s aesthetic writings

The Moral Dimension of Qiyun Aesthetics and Some Resonances with Kant and Schiller Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Xiaoyan Hu
In this paper, I suggest that the notion of qiyun (qi: spirit; yun: consonance) in the context of landscape painting involves a moral dimension. The Confucian doctrine of sincerity involved in bringing the landscapist’s or audience’s mind in accord with the Dao underpins the moral dimension of spiritual communion between artist, object, audience, and work. By projecting Kant’s and Schiller’s conceptions

Wittgenstein, Loos, and the Critique of Ornament Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Andreas Vrahimis
Adolf Loos is one of the few figures that Wittgenstein explicitly named as an influence on his thought. Loos’s influence has been debated in the context of determining Wittgenstein’s relation to modernism, as well as in attempts to come to terms with his work as an architect. This paper looks in a different direction, examining a remark in which Wittgenstein responded to Heidegger’s notorious pronouncement

Beyond the Pleasure Principle: A Kantian Aesthetics of Autonomy Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Dominic McIver Lopes
Aesthetic hedonism is the view that to be aesthetically good is to please. For most aesthetic hedonists, aesthetic normativity is hedonic normativity. This paper argues that Kant’s third Critique contains resources for a nonhedonic account of aesthetic normativity as sourced in autonomy as self-legislation. A case is made that the account is also Kant’s because it ties his aesthetics into a key theme

4′33″, Ideas, and Medium in Appreciating Conceptual Art Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Daniela Šterbáková
How does John Cage’s conceptual work 4′33" communicate its meaning and how can we appreciate it? In this paper, I develop two competing interpretations to tackle these questions. First, drawing on Peter Goldie and Elisabeth Schellekens’s account of conceptual art (‘conceptualism’) and on Cage’s commentary on 4′33", I elaborate an overlooked idea that the work creates a new art form of conceptual music

Kant on the Concept of Witz Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Fernando M. F. Silva
The central aim of this essay is to portray Kant’s notion of Witz as it unfolds from his Lectures on Anthropology, in a decisive stage of his intellectual evolution (1772–96). This aim is sub-divided into two parallel objectives: first, to sketch a brief history of the concept of Witz, thus showing how Witz came to evolve from having a rational connotation to having an imaginative connotation, and

Aesthetics and Autobiography in Cavell Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Jochen Schuff
Stanley Cavell is one of very few philosophers who systematically reflect on the impact and influence of autobiographical detail, experience, and preferences on their philosophical work. The aim of this essay is to show how Cavell’s use of autobiographical exploration is rooted in his early aesthetic theory, in particular his view of the similarities between philosophy and aesthetic criticism. Cavell

Feeling the Aesthetic: A Pluralist Sentimentalist Theory of Aesthetic Experience Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen, David Sackris
Sentimentalist aesthetic theories, broadly construed, posit that emotions play a fundamental role in aesthetic experiences. Jesse Prinz has recently proposed a reductionistic version of sentimentalist aesthetics, suggesting that it is the discrete feeling of wonder that makes an experience aesthetic. In this contribution, we draw on Prinz’s proposal in order to outline a novel version of a sentimentalist

Wittgenstein and Die Meistersinger: The Aesthetic Road to a Sceptical Solution of the Sceptical Paradox Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Vojtěch Kolman
Starting with Wittgenstein’s remark about his allegedly frequent visits to the performance of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg, the paper presents Wagner’s opera – being explicitly an opera about rules and rule-following – as a possible stimulus for the later Wittgenstein’s thinking about language. Besides Wittgenstein’s systematic interests in parallels between music and language, the paper

“Engelmann Told Me…”: On the Aesthetic Relevance of a Certain Remark by Wittgenstein Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Joachim Schulte
This paper is an attempt at bringing out various aesthetically relevant points alluded to by Wittgenstein in what I call ‘the Engelmann remark’ – a longish manuscript remark written by Wittgenstein in 1930 and painstakingly discussed by Michael Fried in the context of elucidating what is strikingly new in the work of a photographer like Jeff Wall. One part of this paper is dedicated to summarizing

Wittgenstein and Heidegger against a Science of Aesthetics Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Andreas Vrahimis
Wittgenstein’s and Heidegger’s objections against the possibility of a science of aesthetics were influential on different sides of the analytic/continental divide. Heidegger’s anti-scientism leads him to an alētheic view of artworks which precedes and exceeds any possible aesthetic reduction. Wittgenstein also rejects the relevance of causal explanations, psychological or physiological, to aesthetic

The Philosophical Significance of Wittgenstein’s Experiments on Rhythm, Cambridge 1912–13 Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Eran Guter
Wittgenstein’s experiments on rhythm, conducted in Charles Myers’s laboratory in Cambridge during the years 1912–13, are his earliest recorded engagement in thinking about music, not just appreciating it, and philosophizing by means of musical thinking. In this essay, I set these experiments within their appropriate intellectual, scientific, and philosophical context in order to show that, its minor

The Emergence of Wittgenstein’s Views on Aesthetics in the 1933 Lectures Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Severin Schroeder
In this paper I offer a genetic account of how Wittgenstein developed his ideas on aesthetics in his 1933 lectures. He argued that the word ‘beautiful’ is neither the name of a particular perceptible quality, nor the name of whatever produces a certain psychological effect, and unlike ‘good’, it does not stand for a family-resemblance concept either. Rather, the word ‘beautiful’ has different meanings
-
Non-standard Emotions and Aesthetic Understanding Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Irene Martínez Marín
Winner of the Fabian Dorsch ESA Essay Prize. For cognitivist accounts of aesthetic appreciation, appreciation requires an agent (1) to perceptually respond to the relevant aesthetic features of an object o on good evidential grounds, (2) to have an autonomous grasp of the reasons that make the claim about the aesthetic features of o true by pointing out the connection between non-aesthetic features

Novels in the Everyday: An Aesthetic Investigation Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2019-09-01 Kalle Puolakka
Everyday aestheticians have had relatively little to say about literature. Inspired by Peter Kivy’s philosophy of literature as laid out in his books The Performance of Reading and Once-Told Tales, I examine reading literature as a part of everyday life. I argue that not only do Kivy’s views help explain the value that avid readers place on their daily silent engagement with a book, but that his philosophy

The Problem of Intentionality in the Contemporary Visual Arts Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2019-09-01 Gianluca Lorenzini
The discourse regarding intentionality and interpretation in analytic philosophy of art, although ample and lively, has concerned itself almost exclusively with the literary medium. Starting from a paper published by Hans Maes, I discuss the complications that may arise in straightforwardly applying current intentionalist strategies to the realm of the contemporary visual arts. I first present a detailed

Artistic Proofs: A Kantian Approach to Aesthetics in Mathematics Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2019-09-01 Weijia Wang
This paper explores the nature of mathematical beauty from a Kantian perspective. According to Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment, satisfaction in beauty is subjective and non-conceptual, yet a proof can be beautiful even though it relies on concepts. I propose that, much like art creation, the formulation and study of a complex demonstration involves multiple and progressive interactions between

What Is an Instance of an Artwork? Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2019-09-01 Alexey Aliyev
The expression ‘an instance of an artwork’ is often used in philosophical discourse about art. Yet there is no clear account of what exactly this expression means. My goal in this essay is to provide such an account. I begin by expounding and defending a particular definition of the concept of ‘an instance of an artwork’. Next, I elaborate this definition – by providing definitions of the main derivatives

The Application of Narrative to the Conservation of Historic Buildings Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2019-03-01 Peter Lamarque,Nigel Walter
The paper is a dialogue between a conservation architect who works on medieval churches and an analytic aesthetician interested in the principles underlying restoration and conservation. The focus of the debate is the explanatory role of narrative in understanding and justifying elective changes to historic buildings. For the architect this is a fruitful model and offers a basis for a genuinely new

Patchwork Puzzles and the Nature of Fiction Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2019-03-01 Patrik Engisch
Kathleen Stock has recently argued that Gregory Currie’s account of fiction is beset by two patchwork puzzles. According to the first, Currie’s account entails that works of fiction end up being implausible heterogenous complexes of utterances that furnish a fictional world and utterances that aim at representing the actual world. According to the second, competent engagement with a fiction can implausibly

Tales of Dread Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2019-03-01 Mark Windsor
‘Tales of dread’ is a genre that has received scant attention in aesthetics. In this paper, I aim to elaborate an account of tales of dread which (1) effectively distinguishes these from horror stories, and (2) helps explain the close affinity between the two, accommodating borderline cases. I briefly consider two existing accounts of the genre – namely, those of Noel Carroll and of Cynthia Freeland

Struggling for the Emperor’s Blessing: Franz Ficker’s Aesthetics Textbooks Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2018-09-01 Tomáš Hlobil
This essay endeavours to cover and clarify the extraordinarily long and complicated approval process – unparalleled in the history of European aesthetics – of the first Austrian court-approved university textbook of aesthetics of local provenance, Franz Ficker’s Aesthetik (1830). The detailed account of the negotiations preceding the approval is followed by general conclusions concerning the nature

Objective Beauty and Subjective Dissent in Leibniz’s Aesthetics Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2018-03-01 Carlos Portales
According to the classical view, beauty is grounded on the universe’s objective harmony, defined by the formula of unity in variety. Concurrently, nature’s beauty is univocal and independent of subjective judgement. In this paper I will argue that, although Leibniz’s view coincides with this formula, his philosophy offers an explanation for subjective dissent in aesthetic judgements about nature. I

Form and Function in the Congregational Mosque Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2018-03-01 Michael H. Mitias,Abdullah Al Jasmi
A large number of scholars have argued that (a) Islamic architecture is hidden, in the sense that its interior is not articulated on the basis of its exterior; (b) the form of Islamic buildings neither expresses nor embodies its function; and (c) Islamic architecture is not tectonic or structural, but iconic in character. In this paper, we use Ernst Grube’s analysis of these three claims and focus

Twofoldness and Three-Layeredness in Pictorial Representation Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2018-03-01 Alberto Voltolini
In this essay, I defend a Wollheimian account of a twofold picture perception. While I agree with Wollheim’s objectors that a picture involves three layers that qualify a picture in its complexity – its vehicle, what is seen in it, and its subject –, I argue that the third layer does not involve perception, even indirectly: what is seen in a picture constrains its subject to be a subject of a certain

Knowledge, Imagination, and Stories in the Aesthetic Experience of Forests Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2018-03-01 Jukka Mikkonen
A key dispute in environmental aesthetics concerns the role of scientific knowledge in our aesthetic appreciation of the natural environment. In this article, I will explore this debate by focusing on the aesthetic experience of forests. I intend to question reductive forms of the scientific approach and support the role of imagination and stories in nature appreciation.

Degrees of Attention in Experiencing Art Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2018-03-01 Ancuta Mortu
This paper examines gradients of attention in relation to aesthetic appreciation. My main claim is that we should leave open the possibility that aesthetic response might be triggered by stimulations taking place far from the centre of one’s focused attention. In support of this claim I first discuss the notion of ‘periphery of attention’ and the challenges that it poses to contemporary psychological

Berlin Symposium on Post-culturalist Art History Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2017-09-01 Whitney Davis, Hans Christian Hönes, Jakub Stejskal
‘Post-culturalist art history’ doesn’t take for granted the ontological fact of culture as the context and content in dealing with the concrete material things and aesthetic practices which make up the putative ‘objects’ of art history. And therefore it doesn’t take for granted the epistemological primacy of cultural history in interpretation and explanation of its objects. It means offering a nontautological

Not Music, but Musics: A Case for Conceptual Pluralism in Aesthetics Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2017-09-01 Adrian Currie, Anton Killin
We argue for conceptual pluralism about music. In our view, there is no right answer to the question ‘What is music?’ divorced from some context or interest. Instead, there are several, non-equivalent music concepts suited to different interests – from within some tradition or practice, or by way of some research question or field of inquiry. We argue (1) that unitary definitions of music are problematic

Acting for Aesthetic Reasons Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics Pub Date : 2017-03-01 Maria Alvarez, Aaron Ridley
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
