Intersections of Value investigates the universal human need for
aesthetic experience. It examines three appreciative contexts where
aesthetic value plays a central role: art, nature, and the
everyday. However, no important appreciative context or practice is
completely centered on a single value. Hence, the book explores the
way the aesthetic interacts with moral, cognitive, and functional
values in these contexts. The account of aesthetic appreciation is
complemented by analyses of the cognitive and ethical value of art,
the connection between environmental ethics and aesthetics, and the
degree to which the aesthetic value of everyday artefacts derives
from their basic practical functions. Robert Stecker devotes
special attention to art as an appreciative context because it is
an especially rich arena where different values interact. There is
an important connection between artistic value and aesthetic value,
but it is a mistake to reduce the former to the latter. Rather,
artistic value should be seen as complex and pluralistic, composed
not only of aesthetic but also ethical, cognitive, and
art-historical values.
