The Hope of Agreement: Against Vibing Accounts of Aesthetic Judgment.

Stanley Cavell's account of aesthetic judgment has two components. The first is a feeling: the judge has to see, hear, or 'dig' something in the object being judged; there has to be an 'emotion' that the judge feels and expresses. The second is the 'discipline of accounting for [the judgment]', a re...

      ab: Stanley Cavell's account of aesthetic judgment has two components. The first is a feeling: the judge has to see, hear, or 'dig' something in the object being judged; there has to be an 'emotion' that the judge feels and expresses. The second is the 'discipline of accounting for [the judgment]', a readiness to argue for one's aesthetic judgment in the face of disagreement. The discipline of accounting for one's aesthetic judgments involves what Nick Riggle has called a norm of convergence: the judge aims to get one's audience to taste, see, or hear what the judge tastes or sees or hears in the object being judged. Because of the unmistakable difficulty in reaching agreement in aesthetic judgment, Riggle has denied that aesthetic judgment requires a convergence norm and has proposed instead that it requires 'a kind of harmony of individuality' (which Riggle calls 'vibing'). We argue that Cavell offers a version of the convergence norm that is distinct from those that Riggle criticizes, namely Kant's demand for agreement and Andy Egan's presupposition of similarity in dispositions in 'non-defective' aesthetic conversations. Cavell's version of the convergence norm is 'the hope of agreement'. One can hope that one's audience will agree with one's aesthetic judgments even when one isn't in a position to demand agreement or to presuppose similarity in the dispositions that would make agreement more likely. Cavell's distinct convergence norm avoids Riggle's criticisms and contributes to a richer account of what's going on when we disagree about aesthetic matters.
