At the heart of aesthetics lie fundamental questions about value in
art and the objectivity of aesthetic valuation. A theory of
aesthetic value must explain how the properties of artworks
contribute to the values derived from contemplating and
appreciating works of art. When someone passes judgment on a work
of art, just what is it that is happening, and how can such
judgments be criticized and defended?In this concise survey,
intended for advanced undergraduate students of aesthetics, Alan
Goldman focuses on the question of aesthetic value, using many
practical examples from painting, music, and literature to make his
case. Although he treats a wide variety of views, he argues for a
nonrealist view of aesthetic value, showing that the personal
element can never be factored out of evaluative aesthetic judgments
and explaining why this is so. At the same time, he argues for
certain common effects of highly esteemed artworks.Along the way
Goldman considers such key topics as interpretation,
representation, expression, and taste. His text will be a valuable
contribution to the teaching of aesthetics as well as to the
understanding of these topics on the part of students and scholars
in philosophy and the arts.
