The Inter-University Workshop on Mind, Art and Morality promotes the interconnections across different areas in philosophy and, more specifically it favors the study of issues lying at the intersection of ethics, aesthetics and the philosophy of mind. In previous editions, the Workshop has been devoted either to the production of a particular philosoher, such as Richard Wollheim, Jonathan Dancy, Christine Korsgaard, Shaun Nichols, David Filkenstein, and Malcolm Budd; or to explore topics like the Philosophy of Music (with Peter Kivy, Noël Carroll or Derek Matravers), Self-Knowledge (with David Filkenstein and Sarah Sawyer) Art and Negative Emotions (with Susan Feagin and Eileen John) or the Cognitive Value of Fiction (with Gregory Currie). On the 2022 edition, we intend to focus on the problems related to aesthetic normativity. Among others, we will consider issues concerning the kind of normativity exhibited by aesthetic judgments, the problem of aesthetic disagreement, the validity of aesthetic testimony, aesthetic akrasia and the problems related to the importance of aesthetic autonomy -such as aesthetic alienation, aesthetic injustice or snobbery.
