Art and Belief presents twelve new essays at the intersection of
philosophy of mind and philosophy of art, particularly to do with
the relation between belief and truth in our experience of art.
Several contributors discuss the cognitive contributions artworks
can make and the questions surrounding these. Can authors of
fiction testify to their readers? If they can, are they culpable
for the false beliefs of their readers formed in response to their
work? If they cannot, that is, if the testimonial powers of authors
of fiction are limited, is there some non-testimonial epistemic
role that fiction can play? And in any case, is such a role
relevant when determining the value of the work? Also explored are
issues concerned with the phenomenon of fictional persuasion,
specifically, what is the nature of the attitude involved in such
cases (those in which we form beliefs about the real world in
response to reading fiction)? If these attitudes are typically
unstable, unjustified, and unreliable, does this put pressure on
the view that they are beliefs? If these attitudes are beliefs,
does this put pressure on the view that all beliefs are aimed at
truth? The final pair of papers in the volume take different
stances on the nature of aesthetic testimony, and whether testimony
of this kind is a legitimate source of beliefs about aesthetic
properties and value.
