Art, Emotion and Ethics

Meer over het boek

The book explores the relationship between art and morality, asserting that artworks with moral defects are inherently aesthetically flawed. Berys Gaut posits that moral goodness embodies a form of beauty and that art can serve as a medium for moral education. He argues for the validity of allowing moral considerations to influence emotional responses to art, suggesting that the ethical dimensions of a work can significantly impact its aesthetic value.
