Alison Hills\, for example\, argues thi s in relation to moral testimony\, and the same would apply in aesthetic t estimony. On her view\, as well\, any action that proceeds on the basis o f such testimony lacks moral (aesthetic) worth\, and the person who defers lacks virtue. Those who advocate the "understanding" approach believe th at there is something intrinsically bad about deference\, and also believe that it reveals something bad about a person's character. In this paper\ , I criticize the understanding approach\, and hold that it is particularl y difficult to maintain this approach in the normative realm of aesthetics . Given a strong analogy between morality and aesthetics\, this then give s us reason to doubt that the approach works in the case of moral testimon y as well. The example of aesthetic virtue I discuss is creativity\, thou gh my approach would hold for other aesthetic virtues as well.\n> \n> \n> • Brisbane: 200.2.03 (BRI_xAC.22 Vd)\n> • Strathfield: 600 .1.02 VC (STR_xE2.45 Vd)\n> • North Sydney: 532.12.24 (NSY_xTWH.16 .24 Vd)\n> • Ballarat: 100.1.04 (BAL_xCB1.104 Vd)\n> • Can berra: 302.G.03 (CAN_xS.G.1.10 Vd)\n> • Melbourne: 460.4.280 (Mel 4.28Vd)\n> \n> \n> Convenor: Steve Matthews\n> \n> \n UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E0080000000010001FC4E0E8D201000000000000000 01000000054EC2FB2B4B99D41875AA58C0EBAA78D SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-AU:Julia Driver ACU Philosophy seminar series DTSTART;TZID=AUS Eastern Standard Time:20170630T143000 DTEND;TZID=AUS Eastern Standard Time:20170630T160000 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20170627T233106Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:1 LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en-AU:Videoconference X-MICROSOFT-CDO-APPT-SEQUENCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-OWNERAPPTID:-1575786527 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:TENTATIVE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:0 X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE BEGIN:VALARM DESCRIPTION:REMINDER TRIGGER;RELATED=START:-PT15M ACTION:DISPLAY END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
