Basic Claims ### A. Standard Experientialism - Argues that the value of an artwork is determined by the value of the experience it affords - Focuses primarily on a one-way relationship from experience value to artwork value ### B. Appreciative Experientialism - Introduces a more complex relationship between artwork value and experience value - Distinguishes between artistic merit and final value - Proposes a two-way relationship between artwork and experience value ## II. Handling of Value Relationships ### A. Standard Experientialism - Tends to create a circular explanation: 1. The work has value because the experience has value 2. The experience has value because the work has value - This circularity is problematic for the theory's explanatory power ### B. Appreciative Experientialism - Breaks the circularity by introducing distinct types of value: 1. The work has artistic merit because the experience has final value 2. The experience has final value because the work has final value - This distinction allows for a non-circular explanation of value ## III. Introduction of Final Value Concept ### A. Role in Appreciative Experientialism - Final value is introduced as a distinct property from artistic merit - Allows for a more nuanced understanding of artwork value ### B. Implications - Not everything with final value has artistic merit - Allows for recognition of intrinsic value in artworks ## IV. Addressing the Circularity Problem ### A. Standard Experientialism's Struggle - Unable to avoid circular reasoning in explaining the relationship between artwork and experience value ### B. Appreciative Experientialism's Solution - Creates a chain of explanation: 1. Work properties → Work's final value 2. Work's final value → Experience's final value 3. Experience's final value → Work's artistic merit - This chain avoids circularity by distinguishing types of value ## V. Understanding of Artistic Merit ### A. Standard Experientialism - Tends to equate artistic merit directly with the value of the experience ### B. Appreciative Experientialism - Views artistic merit as derived from, but distinct from, the final value of the experience - Allows for a more complex understanding of what constitutes artistic merit ## VI. Compatibility with Core Experientialist Ideas ### A. Standard Experientialism - Maintains a strong focus on experience as the source of artistic value ### B. Appreciative Experientialism - Preserves the importance of experience in determining artistic merit - Expands the theory to account for the intrinsic value of artworks ## VII. Handling of Intrinsic Artwork Value ### A. Standard Experientialism - Often criticized for reducing artworks to mere means for valuable experiences ### B. Appreciative Experientialism - Explicitly acknowledges that artworks can have final value in themselves - Integrates this final value into the explanation of artistic merit ## VIII. Relevant Quote > Now suppose the experientialist says the experience has the value it has because it is of the work. Watkins and Shelley argue that this makes experientialism circular. The experientialist must say both of the following: > The work has value because the experience has value. The experience has value because the work has value. > But an experientialist can avoid circularity. An experientialist about artistic merit can say: > The work has artistic merit because the experience has final value. The experience has final value because the work has final value. > The first claim is just a statement of experientialism about artistic merit. The second claim is the distinctive one. I shall argue that the conjunction of these claims is non-circular; that the second claim is plausible; and that it is compatible with experientialism. This quote illustrates the key difference between standard experientialism and appreciative experientialism, showing how the latter introduces a more nuanced understanding of value relationships to avoid circularity. ## Intention - ## Mental Health - # Notes Created ```dataview LIST WITHOUT ID file.link FROM "" WHERE file.cday = this.file.day AND file.name != this.file.name SORT file.ctime ASC ```
