Discussion : reply to Nicholas Riggle's "Levingson on the aesthetic ideal"

I thank Nicholas Riggle for the close attention he has paid to my proposals in "Artistic worth and personal taste." He has certainly identified some unclarities and weaknesses in them. I also agree with him that the problem highlighted in my essay may not be as grave as it seems at first blush and that there may be other ways of responding to it. That said, I now offer brief replies to some of the criticisms that Riggle has raised. [Publication Abstract]
