X-Phi Aesthetics Workshop Series

AUTHENTICITY AND ART
Wednesday\, November 12th\, 2014\, 2014\, 15:30-18:00

In general\, we seem to have a preference for &ldquo\;the real thing&rdquo\;. We tend to like people who we \;find genuine. We tend to find authentic food more delicious. However\, nowhere is this \;preference more apparent than in the domain of artworks. We look down upon copies\, \;replicas\, and forgeries because they lack the aesthetic virtue of authenticity. But why is this? \;This workshop explores recent advances in the cognitive science of art\, and their \;philosophical implications.

Gregory Currie (philosophy\, University of York)
