Aesthetic Value of Immoral Fictions / E. Paganini. - In: CROATIAN JOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHY. - ISSN 1333-1108. - 24:70(2024), pp. 53-63. [10.52685/cjp.24.70.4]
Abstract:
Can one have an aesthetically valuable experience of fi ction that takes
an immoral perspective? Some have argued that one can. However, some
important objections have been raised against this idea. Two objections
are: that the immorality involved is confi ned to fi ctional reality, and that
the aesthetic value of immoral fi ction is dictated by a pluralistic attitude
that not everyone accepts. My aim is to respond to these challenges and
to argue, on the basis of two examples, that even an unlimited immoral
perspective can enhance a widespread aesthetic value.
