The Language of Aesthetic Value
My research addresses the intersection between aesthetics and philosophy of language. Much of it is concerned with recent debates surrounding contextualism, relativism, and alternatives to these positions. Amongst other things, I'm exploring issues surrounding aesthetic disagreement, faultlessness, error, and the question of how we should conceive of standards of taste.
