There are easier, less metaphysically expensive ways a resolving this than saying that there's like that an object of art has a property right. And i think hume kind of lays out a way of resolving this kind of paradox which allows for our our judgments to be a product of the sentiments that we have that are excited by the object. But at the same time, kind of shows that there is, there can be right and wrong judgments.
Many of us think that art is subjective, but at the same time it seems like some artistic judgments are better than others. Do you think Crash deserved to receive an award for Best Picture? Did you like Season 2 of Ted Lasso? Well you’re wrong. So how do we reconcile these two conflicting attitudes about art? David and Tamler turn to David Hume’s classic essay Of the Standard of Taste (link in notes) for help. Will Pizarro finally see the error of his ways on Straw Dogs?
Plus a doozy of a medical ethics paper – should we allow people to change their legal age if it doesn’t match their "biological" and "emotional" age?
