> [!ABSTRACT]- ABSTRACT [[The article]] by [[Louise Hanson]] examines the commonly held view that moral realism is more defensible than [[aesthetic realism]], a stance she terms the [[asymmetry claim]]. Hanson scrutinizes this claim and finds that justifications for the perceived differences between moral and [[aesthetic realism]] do not hold up under closer examination, therefore challenging proponents of the [[asymmetry claim]] to provide more substantial evidence.
