My friend has appallingly bad taste in coffee, and I'm not content to write this off as a mere difference of opinion. I have a very strong intuition that beauty is not simply in the eye of the beholder, but I am not familiar enough with the literature on the subject to make an informed judgment, and I don't know where to start looking. So here's what I'm looking for:
- Arguments for and against objective aesthetic value. Are some things more beautiful/aesthetically better than others?
- Arguments for particular epistemological methods in aesthetics. Assuming that there is objective aesthetic value, how can I know that the Mona Lisa is more beautiful than the drawing taped to your refrigerator and not the other way around?
