In Judgments of Beauty in Theory Evaluation, Devon
Brickhouse-Bryson argues that judgments of beauty are a justified
part of theory evaluation of all sorts, including both scientific
theory evaluation and philosophical theory evaluation. He supports
this argument with an account of beauty-inherited from Kant and
Mothersill-on which the distinctive nature of judgments of beauty
is that they are unprincipled, yet possible. Brickhouse-Bryson
analyzes two important methods of theory evaluation-reflective
equilibrium and simplicity-and argues that these methods require
making judgments of beauty understood. He further argues that these
methods of theory evaluation are not anomalies, but that they point
to a deeper lesson about the nature of theorizing and the necessity
of using judgments of beauty to evaluate systems, like theories.
This book has implications for the debate in philosophy of science
over judgments of beauty and also prompts a reckoning in philosophy
itself over the use of judgments of beauty in philosophical theory
evaluation.
