Testimony, Understanding, and Art Criticism
In Alex King, Philosophy and Art: New Essays at the Intersection. Oxford University Press (forthcoming)
Abstract
I present a puzzle – the “puzzle of aesthetic testimony” – along with a solution to it that appeals to the impossibility of testimonial understanding. I'll criticize this solution by defending the possibility of testimonial understanding, including testimonial aesthetic understanding.Author's Profile
