This compelling book defends realism concerning the aesthetic-in
particular, concerning the aesthetic properties of works of art
(including works of literature). Morais lucidly argues that art
criticism, when referring to aesthetic properties, is referring not
ultimately to the critic's subjective reactions, but to genuine
properties of the works. With a focus on contemporary discussion
conducted in the analytic tradition, as well as on arguments by
Hume and Kant, this book characterizes the debate in aesthetics and
the philosophy of art concerning aesthetic realism, examining
attacks on the objectivity of values, the 'autonomy thesis', and
Hume's sentimentalism. Considering and defusing scepticism
concerning the significance of the ontological debate about
aesthetic realism, Morais discusses two powerful attacks on
aesthetic realism before defending the doctrine against them and
providing a positive realist account of aesthetic properties.
