Abstract

Abstract The question posed in this paper is in what sense we should say that our judgments about works of art can claim to be objective. It draws upon recent discussions in analytical aesthetics on the one hand and on the work of Hegel, Gadamer and McDowell on the other. The aim of the paper is to argue for the possibility of an objectivistic understanding of judgments on works of art. It does so by trying to render the foundations of subjective accounts of such judgments problematic and by trying to show that the difference between objective and mere intersubjective claims of judgments isn’t a valid difference at all.
