Question

A thought experiment by Kendall Walton regarding this field imagines a society where one object’s “flatness” is relevant to the categories of this field. One text distinguishes this field from the intellectual through the interaction of a “live creature” with its environment. George Dickie’s “institutional” theory of a concept in this field was influenced by Arthur Danto’s idea of a “world” (10[1])of that concept. A John Dewey book that argues against excluding (-5[1])“useful” objects such as pottery and rugs characterizes this (10[1])field “as (-5[1])experience.” (10[3])That book pushed back against (-5[1])Kant’s third critique, which describes four possible judgments made within this field that include the sublime. For 10 points, (-5[1])name this field of philosophy that studies beauty and art. (10[2])■END■ (10[3])
