Description
Aesthetic Value by Alan Goldman provides a concise survey of fundamental questions about value in art and the objectivity of aesthetic valuation. The author explores how the properties of artworks contribute to the values derived from contemplating and appreciating them, using practical examples from painting, music, and literature. Goldman argues for a nonrealist view of aesthetic value, explaining why personal elements cannot be factored out of evaluative aesthetic judgments. He also discusses key topics such as interpretation, representation, expression, and taste, making this text a valuable contribution to the teaching of aesthetics. This book is intended for advanced undergraduate students of aesthetics, offering a practical exploration of these complex topics in an accessible way.
