Musical listening, looking at paintings and literary creation are
activities that involve perceptual and cognitive activity and so
are of interest to psychologists and other scientists of the mind.
What sorts of interest should philosophers of the arts take in
scientific approaches to such issues? Opinion currently ranges
across a spectrum, with 'take no notice' at one end and 'abandon
traditional philosophical methods' at the other. This collection of
essays, originating in a Royal Institute of Philosophy conference
at the Leeds Art Gallery in 2012, represents many of the most
interesting positions along that spectrum. Contributions address
issues concerning aesthetic testimony, the processing and
appreciation of poetry, the aesthetics of disgust, imagination,
genre, evolutionary constraints on art appreciation, creativity,
musical cognition and the limitations or productiveness of
empirical enquiry for philosophical aesthetics.
