Artistic Creation and Ethical Criticism, a study in philosophical
aesthetics, investigates an idea that underpins the ethical
criticism of art but that is rarely acknowledged and poorly
understood - namely, that the ethical criticism of art involves
judgments not only of the attitudes a work endorses or solicits,
but of what artists do to create the work. The book pioneers an
innovative production-oriented approach to the study of the ethical
criticism of art - one that will provide a detailed philosophical
account of the intersection of ethics and artistic creation as well
as conceptual tools that can guide future philosophizing and
criticism. Ted Nannicelli offers three arguments concerning the
ethical criticism of art. First, he argues that judgments of an
artwork's ethical value are already often made in terms of how it
was created, and examines why some art forms more readily lend
themselves to this form of ethical appraisal than others. He then
asserts that production-oriented evaluations of artworks are less
contested than other sorts of ethical criticism and so lead to
certain practical consequences-from censure, dismissal, and
prosecution to shifts in policy and even legislation. Finally,
Nannicelli defends the production-oriented approach, arguing that
it is not only tacit in many of our art appreciative practices, but
is in fact rationally warranted. There are many cases in which we
should ethically critique artworks in terms of how they are created
because this approach handles cases that other approaches cannot
and results in plausible judgments about the works' relative
ethical and artistic value. The concise, powerful arguments
presented here will appeal to moral philosophers, philosophers of
art and aesthetics, and critics interested in the intersection of
artistic production and criticism and ethics.
