12th March 2008 Dr. David Macarthur (Sydney) "Aesthetic Judgment and the Cognitivist/Noncognitivist Debate". Abstract The debate between cognitivists and non-cognitivists has led philosophers to overlook the option of there being judgments that, even if they are true, cannot constitute knowledge, no matter how well supported by reasons. This paper argues that aesthetic judgments about works of art are judgments of this intermediate kind. A key theme is that aesthetic judgments do not satisfy a necessary condition of knowledge, namely, that it be transmissible via testimony.
