Not OP but
> That one must judge art, to enjoy art, appears fundamentally exclusionary,
Well, yes. You must make a judgement in order to have a reaction. In order to have a positive reaction to something (enjoy) it, somewhere along the line, you must have decided if had positive attributes. If it had bad attributes, you would not enjoy it. But a decision/judement/evaluation IS made.
- cwmoore 5y agoAnother point this raises is approximately identical to the headline question, so that if there is such a thing as good judgement there is also good taste and vice versa, and they will fail in similar ways related to subjectivity. I feel this even dilutes the situation further because the moral questions of judgement are often out of place or under questioning in works of art.
- cwmoore 5y agoWith respect, to me that stance seems both incomplete and absolute, and falsifiable in about nine ways, so surely, while you are entitled to hold that opinion and are not alone in that judgement, you are both wrong. But so am I.
