All Your Desires in One Box
All Your Desires in One Box
Some philosophers have recently expressed scepticism about naturalistic functional role/‘boxological’ methodology in philosophical aesthetics, contending that they are explanatorily otiose. Some other philosophers, working within that methodology, have argued for the existence of a ‘make-desire’ box, in which imaginative desires are entertained. Weinberg argues for the efficacy of this naturalistic methodology by demonstrating how, properly deployed, it can be used to make a principled case rejecting any such imaginative analogue of desire.
