Artworks potentially convey two kinds of knowledge. They
obviously afford knowledge of art itself, and they also afford
general empirical knowledge, especially knowledge of human
psychology and value.
"Knowing Art" collects ten original essays written by leading
philosophers who distill and build upon recent work at the
intersection of aesthetics and epistemology. Specific topics
addressed include the objectivity of critical knowledge, the
quality of critical testimony, the roles of principles and
perception in critical reasoning, phenomenal knowledge of what a
work of art is like, the acquisition of factual information and
psychological understanding from fictions, and the limits of images
as sources of historical evidence. In addressing these topics, the
volume also explores the challenges that art poses for theories of
knowledge as well as the challenges that artistic knowledge poses
to traditional views about art.
