Art And Ethics In A Material World (Routledge Studies In Ethics And Moral Theory)

McMahon draws upon Kant and his legacy in pragmatist theories of meaning and language to argue that aesthetic judgment is a version of moral judgment: a way to cultivate attitudes conducive to community, which plays a pivotal role in the evolution of language, meaning, and knowledge.While offering an interpretation of Kant's aesthetic theory, the book focuses on the implications of Kant's third critique for contemporary art.
