A Semantic Solution to the Problem with Aesthetic Testimony
نویسنده
چکیده
There is something peculiar about aesthetic testimony. It seems more di cult to gain knowledge of aesthetic properties based solely upon aesthetic testimony than it is in the case of other types of property. In this paper, I argue that we can provide an adequate explanation at the level of the semantics of aesthetic language without defending any substantive thesis in epistemology or about aesthetic value/judgement. If aesthetic predicates are given a non-invariantist semantics, we can explain the supposed peculiar di culty with aesthetic testimony.
