“…Rather, they are inclined to maintain an illusion of objectivity and strive to appear rational to themselves and others (Festinger, 1957;Kunda, 1990). Even though the experience of art is characterized by a degree of subjectivity, individuals nevertheless experience negative emotions such as guilt or shame when their emotional experiences deviate from objective (social or personal) standards (Goffin & Cova, 2019). We propose that biased creativity assessments can account for biased experiences of awe as a response to AI-made art.…”

“…Taste, that is, appears to be both subjective and objective... Aesthetics has so far debated at length what account to give of the tension. However, the existence of the tension itself has been acknowledged since Hume and Kant. More recently, a series of papers reporting experimental results have questioned the existence of this tension: most notably, , but also Cova & Pain (2012), , Goffin & Cova (2019) and Cova (forthcoming). Goodwin and Darley (2008), Rabb et al (2020) and Andow (2022) also report similar results.…”

A series of recent experimental studies have cast doubt on the existence of a traditional tension that aestheticians have noted in our aesthetic judgements and practices, namely the problem of taste. The existence of the problem has been acknowledged since Hume and Kant, though not enough has been done to analyse it in depth. In this paper, we remedy this by proposing six possible conceptualizations of it. Drawing on our analysis of the problem of taste, we argue that the experimental results in question are not a real challenge to its existence. By contrast, they provide empirical evidence in its support.

Shame and the Scope of Moral Accountability

It is widely agreed that reactive attitudes play a central role in our practices concerned with holding people responsible. However, it remains controversial which emotional attitudes count as reactive attitudes such that they are eligible for this central role. Specifically, though theorists near universally agree that guilt is a reactive attitude, they are much more hesitant on whether to also include shame. This paper presents novel arguments for the view that shame is a reactive attitude. The arguments also support the view that shame is a reactive attitude in the sense that concerns moral accountability. The discussion thereby challenges both the view that shame is not a reactive attitude at all, suggested by philosophers such as R. Jay Wallace and Stephen Darwall, and the view that shame is a reactive attitude but does not concern moral accountability, recently defended by Andreas Carlsson and Douglas Portmore.
