Abstract
Is there a correspondence between the ethical and the aesthetic value of a work of art? A negative kind of moderate moralism suggests that the ethical defects of an artwork can sometimes impair its aesthetic value. Ethical defects sometimes prevent the recipient from responding appropriately to the work. Developing an “imaginative resistance”, we may be reluctant to imagine worlds that are morally different from ours. In morally deviating worlds people do not just think differently about morality; different things are morally good. Several approaches to this problem are considered, and an emotion-based account is defended.
