비평적 평가의 근거 = Reasons of Critical Evaluation

국문 초록 (Abstract)

필자는 예술작품 평가에서 순수하게 미적인 근거나 이유만을 용인하는 초기 분석미학의 지배적인 추세에 반대하고자 한다. 예술과 인지의 관계에 대한 미적 반인지주의를 비판하고 인지주의를 옹호하며 인지적 근거도 수용하며, 예술과 도덕성 문제에 대한 이른바 자율주의와 비도덕주의를 비판하고 도덕주의를 옹호하며 도덕적 근거도 수용한다. 미적인 속성, 즉 통일성이나 우아함 같은 작품의 형식적 속성이나 표현적 속성을 비롯하여 작품의 인지적 내용과 도덕적 내용, 즉 세계와 인간에 대한 앎과 도덕적 통찰이 모두 작품평가의 객관적 근거로서 인정되는 것이다. 이때 인지적인 것이나 도덕적인 것은 미적인 관련을 맺을 때 비로소 미적 장점으로서 예술의 가치에 기여하게 된다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, I focus on the work of art itself as the basis for critical evaluation. I consider aesthetic, cognitive, and moral qualities of a work of art as relevant to the evaluative judgment on it as a work of art. Monroe Beardsley, who accepts only aesthetic reasons in evaluation, proposes that unity, complexity, and intensity are general criteria applicable to all the arts. Disagreeing on Beardsley"s view, I accept cognitive and moral reasons as well.
I approve cognitive reasons by supporting aesthetic cognitivism which holds that art can give us knowledge, and that art"s capacity to give us knowledge is related to the value of it as art. I criticize aesthetic anti-cognitivism that denies one or both of these two ssues.
Next, I approve moral reasons by supporting the so called moralism concerning the debate about art and morality. Here I reject autonomism and immoralism. Especially, I disagree with the claim that works of art can be aesthetically good because of their moral flaws, and hold that they are aesthetically bad because of these flaws.
It is also worked out that when cognitive or moral content is conveyed with aesthetic features in a work of art, this is an aesthetic merit in it. Thus cognitive or moral values of art accomplish aesthetic relevance. Now we praise a work of art on the ground that it is unified, or may contain an important view of life or the world, or may present moral insights.
