Evaluation is ubiquitous. Indeed, it isn't an exaggeration to say
that we assess actions, character, events, and objects as good,
cruel, beautiful, etc., almost every day of our lives. Although
evaluative judgement - for instance, judging that an institution is
unjust - is usually regarded as the paradigm of evaluation, it has
been thought by some philosophers that a distinctive and
significant kind of evaluation is perceptual. For example, in
aesthetics, some have claimed that adequate aesthetic judgement
must be grounded in the appreciator's first hand-hand perceptual
experience of the item judged. In ethics, reference to the
existence and importance of something like ethical perception is
found in a number of traditions, for example, in virtue ethics and
sentimentalism. This volume brings together philosophers working in
aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of mind, and value
theory to investigate what we call 'evaluative perception'.
Specifically, they engage with (1) Questions regarding the
existence and nature of evaluative perception: Are there perceptual
experiences of values? If so, what is their nature? Are perceptual
experiences of values sui generis? Are values necessary for certain
kinds of perceptual experience? (2) Questions about epistemology:
Can evaluative perceptual experiences ever justify evaluative
judgements? Are perceptual experiences of values necessary for
certain kinds of justified evaluative judgements? (3) Questions
about value theory: Is the existence of evaluative perceptual
experience supported or undermined by particular views in value
theory? Are particular views in value theory supported or
undermined by the existence of evaluative perceptual experience?
