U ovom radu razmatram primenu teze „zavisnosti od reakcije“ (response-dependence) u estetici. Kada ovu tezu primenimo u estetici, dobijamo stav da su estetička svojstva na neki, epistemološki ili ontološki, način zavisna od reakcije. Iako svi pobornici teze zavisnosti od reakcije polaze od iste programske formule, tu formulu tumače na različite, pa čak i međusobno disparatne načine. Koliko ti kontrasti mogu biti veliki, može se videti kada uporedimo dva poznata estetička rada koji pripadaju ovom programu: rad Filipa Petita o mogućnosti estetičkog realizma i rad Nika Zengvila o ontološkom statusu lepote. Pošto kritički razmotrim i uporedim teze koje se u tim radovima zastupaju, pokušaću da odgovorim na načelno pitanje koliko nam teza zavisnosti od reakcije u svom izvornom obliku može pomoći da bolje razumemo ontološko-epistemološki status estetičkih kvaliteta. In this paper I discuss the application of the response-dependence thesis in aesthetics. When we apply this thesis in aesthetics, we arrive at the view that aesthetic properties are in some way, epistemologically or ontologically, dependent on the response of an observer. Even though all defenders of the response-dependence thesis adopt the same formula, they interpret it in different, even mutually incompatible ways. We can see how such contrasting readings can be widely divergent when we compare two well-known aesthetic papers which adhere to the response-dependence thesis: the Philip Pettit’s paper on the possibility of aesthetic realism, and the Nick Zangwill’s paper on the ontological status of beauty. After I critically examine and compare the views argued in these papers, I will try to answer a more general question of whether a response-dependence thesis, in its original form, can help us better understand the ontological and the epistemological status of aesthetic qualities. |
