Notes
Several authors cite a famous dispute between Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker concerning a 2003 Chateau Pavie. See http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/winenews0422.html (accessed January 2012).
For example, See Barry C. Smith’s “The Objectivity of Tastes and Tasting,” in Barry C. Smith (ed.), Questions of Taste: The Philosophy of Wine (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007), pp. 41–77; Jonathan Cohen, “Wine-Tasting Blind and Otherwise: Blindness as Perceptual Limitation,” manuscript of a paper presented at Workshop on Wine Expertise, University of London in Paris, Paris, 13 October 2011; Cain Todd, The Philosophy of Wine: A Case of Truth, Beauty and Intoxication (Montreal: Queen’s University Press, 2011); especially Ch. 4. See also Steve Charter’s “On the Evaluation of Wine’s Quality,” in Barry C. Smith, pp. 157–181.
For a classic presentation of this view, see Frank Sibley’s “Aesthetic Concepts,” The Philosophical Review, 68 (1959), pp. 421–450. See also Nick Zangwill’s “In Defense of Moderate Aesthetic Formalism,” The Philosophical Quarterly, 50 (2000), pp. 476–493.
Kendall Walton, “Categories of Art,” The Philosophical Review, 79 (1970), pp. 334–367; 338.
Ibid., pp. 356 and 364, respectively. The emphasis is Walton’s.
Ibid., p. 339.
