Abstract

Do epistemic and aesthetic values ever conflict? The answer might appear to be no, given that background knowledge generally enhances aesthetic experience, and aesthetic experience in turn generates new knowledge. As Keats writes, ‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty’ (Keats, 1996). Contra this line of thought, I argue that epistemic and aesthetic values can conflict when we over-rely on aesthetically enhancing background beliefs. The true and the beautiful can pull in different directions, forcing us to choose between flavours of normativity.

认识论与审美冲突

认知价值和审美价值有冲突吗?答案似乎是否定的，因为背景知识通常会增强审美经验，而审美经验反过来又会产生新的知识。正如济慈所写，“美即真理，真理即美”(济慈，1996)。与这一思路相反，我认为，当我们过度依赖增强审美的背景信念时，认知价值和审美价值会发生冲突。真与美可以拉向不同的方向，迫使我们在规范的味道之间做出选择。
