"Categories of art" as a concept in Kendal Walton's theory of aesthetic appreciation of art
 Kolář, Karel ; Kubalík, Štěpán (advisor) ; Kulka, Tomáš (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis offers a critical interpretation of the theory of aesthetic appreciation of artworks, specifically the theory developed by American art philosopher Kendall Walton. In his study Categories of art, Walton presents the theory of aesthetic judgments, according to which making of aesthetic judgments is conditional upon the classification of a work in the correct category of art on the basis of the work's non-aesthetic properties. The first part of the thesis summarizes the core ideas of his theory. The following part is the actual critique of Walton's thesis. It is devoted to its conception of Gestalt and examines the adequacy of its classification as an aesthetic property. The work goes on to criticize the thesis based on the necessity of knowledge of the author's intentions and the context of the creation of the work for its aesthetic assessment. The work concludes that Walton's study does not meet the goals he set for himself. After reviewing the various steps of his argument, we find that his theory of artistic evaluation is more static than the formalistic theories, and that he does not create an alternative that fits the practice.
