“…While their views diverge on the particulars, both Dominic McIver Lopes (2015Lopes ( , 2017Lopes ( , 2018 and Andrew McGonigal (2018a, b) can be read as advocating aesthetic externalism. Notably, both Lopes and McGonigal explicitly model their views on efforts in epistemology to account for epistemic normativity by appealing to successful epistemic action.…”

Is it ever aesthetically permissible to engage in acts of cultural appropriation? This paper shows how recent work on aesthetic normativity can help answer this question. Drawing on the work of Lopes ( 2018) and McGonigal (2018aMcGonigal ( , 2018b, I argue that in many cases those who engage in cultural appropriation act against their aesthetic reasons. Lopes and McGonigal advocate for externalist accounts of aesthetic reasons according to which whether or not an agent has an aesthetic reason to act depends on whether or not their action will be an aesthetic achievement. Employing this framework, I argue that insofar as acts of cultural appropriation are seldom aesthetic achievements, many agents who engage in culturally appropriative aesthetic activities act against their aesthetic reasons.

Cooking and dining as forms of public art

This paper addresses the yet unexplored question of whether cooking and dining are sometimes a form of public art. After introducing the main question ( §1), we rehearse key characteristics of public artworks, most importantly accessibility, theme, and elicited responses ( §2). We then argue that some instances of cooking and dining meet such conditions ( §3). Hence, we vet the pros and cons of three avenues to support cooking and dining as a form of public art: through subsidies to cooks; through museums and art events; and through establishing a novel form of dedicated venues ( §4).

Art Forms Emerging: An Approach to Evaluative Diversity in Art

Artworks are rationally evaluable and comparable within their art form, but not from outside. Beethoven's string quartets cannot be evaluated against works of Hindustani music. This is the problem of evaluative diversity: local commensurability, global indeterminacy. This article sketches an approach to the problem based on novel conceptions of aesthetic pleasure and cultural learning, and on the Darwinian Principle of Divergence as applied to cultural evolution.
