With the rise of empirical moral psychology, new evidence was adduced in defense of moral sentimentalism鈥攖he classical empiricist thesis that moral judgments are based on emotions. 听The empiricists also defended a parallel view about aesthetics. 听Emerging theoretical and empirical considerations can now be marshaled in defense of the view that aesthetic judgments are emotionally based. 听Though less controversial than it鈥檚 moral counter-part, aesthetic sentimentalism bears on a number of core controversies: the nature of aesthetic experience, the mechanisms of evaluation, the specific emotions that underly appreciation, and even the definition of art. 听Tentative answers to these questions will be presented, along with avenues for future research.
