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” of (10[2])that concept. A John Dewey book that argues against excluding “useful” objects such as pottery and rugs characterizes (10[1]-5[1])this (10[1])field “as experience.” (10[1])That book pushed back against Kant’s third critique, which describes four possible judgments made within this field that (10[1])include the sublime. For 10 points, (10[2])name this field of philosophy that studies beauty and art. (10[2])■END■
