Art, History, Representation, and Consciousness in Early Danto Philosophy
Arthur C. Danto’s seminal work, Analytical Philosophy of History, was published in 1965 and aimed to defend historical knowledge against arguments that deemed it impossible because of the lack of direct experience of the past. According to Danto, to fully understand a past event, one must consider…

Otomo Yoshihide: musicista o “noise-maker”? Una lettura wittgensteiniana
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate why Otomo Yoshihide – one of the most controversial postmodern Japanese musicians – could be considered a “Wittgensteinian innovator.” I will first outline Wittgenstein’s views on music, emphasizing his later thoughts on music as a practice embedded in a form…

Cringe Comedy as Social Horror
Why do we enjoy comedy that makes us cringe in embarrassment? This paper makes the case that cringe comedy is a form of social horror, and many of the theoretical approaches that have been developed to analyze the appeal of horror fictions can be transposed to cringe comedy. These approaches do not…

Like I’ve Been There Before: The Consolation of Junk Fiction
Philosophers have considered many different paradoxes concerning our emotional engagement with fiction. In this paper, we outline a new paradox in this area: the paradox of junk recidivism. The puzzle we address is why fiction consumers regularly return to familiar fictions which lacked much…

Pondering the Paradox: A Play Theory of Painful Art
The paradox of painful art explores the general question: why do we sometimes enjoy art that elicits painful emotions that we tend to avoid in real life? The three dominant types of solutions – control, compensatory, and conversionary theories – tend to be treated as mutually exclusive. I argue…

Fiction, Emotions, and Self-Knowledge
Whether we like it or not, we have emotional reactions to fiction. We may cry when Anna Karenina dies, or feel joy when the characters we root for achieve a happy ending. Yet what do these reactions tell us about ourselves? Are they mere emotional outbursts that are unconnected with who we are, or…

Anticipatory Imagining and the Paradox of Fiction
The “paradox of fiction” is derived, roughly, from the apparent incompatibility between our emotional responses to fictional events and our belief that those events are fictional. Kendall Walton famously attempts to resolve the paradox by claiming that fiction only elicits what he calls…

How Emotions About Fictional Objects Motivate Behavior
Walton (1978, 1990, 1997) has influentially argued that the emotions we have towards fictional people and situations do not motivate behavior, despite having phenomenological, physiological and expressive features in common with the emotions we have towards real-world people and situations. Because…

Emotions for Fictional Entities and Their Epistemic Role
Suppose you are happy when Breaking Bad’s Walter White outwits law enforcement or embarrassed for Harry Burns when Sally Albright fakes an orgasm at the diner in When Harry Met Sally… What sort of epistemological role, if any, do these emotions for fictional entities play? This paper focuses on how…

A Pragmatist Solution to the Paradox of Fiction
People can experience emotions towards fictional characters who we know do not exist in the real world. To make sense of this phenomenon, philosophers have proposed various strategies to show that belief is not necessary for feeling genuine and rational emotions. In this paper, I offer a new…

Fiction, Emotion, and Recalcitrance
This paper investigates the normative asymmetry between recalcitrant emotions – emotions that conflict with our judgments – and emotional responses to fiction. While the former generate normative tension, the latter do not, but given their structural similarities, this asymmetry is surprising. We…

Fiction and Emotion: What Is the Problem?
Much philosophical work has been done, and continues to be done, on whether there is anything distinctive about our emotional reactions to characters and states of affairs as depicted in fiction. Showing this would require showing that such reactions differed from our emotional reactions to…

A Realist Approach to Surrealist Art
While surrealist art is often thought of as some rejection of classical conceptions of beauty, we can use such approaches to analyze certain surrealist art works. By using a realist metaphysical idea of beauty and art, particularly in the tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle, a deeper…

New Religion: Wang Guangyi, Apelles’ Line, And Political Theology
As Warhol appropriated posters and prints already ‘ready-made’, Wang Guangyi ‘covers’ Andy Warhol. This essay discusses Warhol and death (Marilyn Monroe, James Dean), mirroring artist and viewer, along with a discussion of Arthur Danto on Warhol and on Duchamp’s ‘Fountain’ (or not Duchamp’s because…

Scientific Theories as Multi-Medial Narratives: Telling the Story of the Origin of Mass
The central claim of this paper is that narrative knowledge plays a central epistemic role in contemporary scientific practice, and most specifically in theoretical research in the exact sciences. Traditional history and philosophy of science regard physical theories primarily as mathematical…

Empowering Women’s Narratives: Unravelling the Dominant Narrative on Pregnancy and Childbirth
In this paper, I will argue, following Adrianne Rich (1976), that there is a lack of narrative about the experiences of pregnancy and childbirth constructed from women’s perspectives that can reflect the embodied and lived aspects of pregnancy and childbirth. The dominant narrative portrays these…
