On Beardsley's view of the artistic process

Essay from the year 1994 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, ...), grade: keine, Kyoto Sangyo University, language: English, abstract: In his essay "e;On the Creation of ART"e; Monroe Beardsley, probably the best known American philosopher working in the field of aesthetics, is setting himself the task of inquiring into the creative process "e;between the incept (short for: inceptive element) and the final touch"e; asking "e;how the work of art itself comes into existence and takes on its character through the stages or phases of this process."e; After an interval of more than two decades I would like to offer a few belated comments on Beardsley's ideas, since it seems to me that characteristic differences between American and German thought on this central issue of aesthetics can be shown by this.
