When Critics Disagree: Prospects for Realism in Aesthetics.

I investigate whether a reconstructed Humean theory of appreciation can secure the objectivity of aesthetic judgement. Examining a current debate about aesthetic realism, I argue that it stalls out at a verificationist impasse. I suggest a resolution that broadens our conception of aesthetic qualiti...

      ab: I investigate whether a reconstructed Humean theory of appreciation can secure the objectivity of aesthetic judgement. Examining a current debate about aesthetic realism, I argue that it stalls out at a verificationist impasse.

Taking into account the suitability of critics to the works they judge as well as some complications of the test of time increases support for a qualified form of aesthetic realism.
