A natural landscape can look serene, a shade of colour cheerful and
a piece of music might sound heartrending. Why do we ascribe
affective qualities to objects that can't entertain psychological
states? The capacity that objects, and especially artworks, have to
express affective states is a bizarre phenomenon that needs to be
clarified in numerous respects. Philosophers are still struggling
with the phenomenon of expressiveness being a matter of
imagination, perception, or mnemonic association, and usually do
not agree on the role that emotions and human bodily expressions
play in it. Benenti questions the main theories that populate the
aesthetics domain using the tools of philosophy of mind. This study
deals with crucial debates concerning seeing-in, cognitive
penetration, the relation between phenomenal character and
representational content and between emotions and expressions. It
aims at providing a viable account of the experience we have of
expressive properties by casting light on its fundamentally
perceptual nature. The outcome is an empirically informed and
critical overview of a topic which has been rather neglected in the
philosophy of mind. The book will be of interest to scholars of the
philosophy of mind, aesthetics, the cognitive sciences, and
psychology.
