Many hold that aesthetic appreciation is sensitive to the authenticity or genuineness of an object. In a recent body of work, Carolyn Korsmeyer has defended the claim that genuineness itself is an aesthetic property. Korsmeyer’s aim is to explain our aesthetic appreciation of objects that afford a sense of being ‘in touch with the past’. In this paper, I argue that genuineness cannot explain our appreciation of these objects. There is no aesthetic experience of the genuine.

没有真正的审美体验

许多人认为，审美欣赏对物体的真实性或真实性很敏感。在最近的一系列作品中，Carolyn Korsmeyer 为真实性本身是一种审美属性的说法辩护。Korsmeyer 的目的是解释我们对物体的审美欣赏，这些物体提供了一种“与过去保持联系”的感觉。在本文中，我认为真实性无法解释我们对这些物品的欣赏。没有真正的审美体验。
