Abstract
Theories which incorporate as their central feature the notion of an ‘aesthetic attitude’ have come under spirited attack by contemporary writers on aesthetics. The general description of such theories is that they maintain that a peculiar state of mind is a necessary, if not a sufficient, condition for anything’s being ‘aesthetic’. Thus George Dickie says, present day aesthetic attitude theories… maintain that anything can be aesthetic if and only if it is experienced while in the aesthetic attitude.1 KeywordsAesthetic ExperienceAesthetic JudgementPsychical DistanceReligious RevelationPutative CaseThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
