 ng>Abstract:<br /></strong>My title will have you thinking that I’ll answer
  the question it poses. I will\, but I’ll spend the better part of this tal
 k arguing that we’ve been misunderstanding what we’re asking for when we as
 k it. Once we understand what we’re asking for\, giving an answer won’t be 
 too hard\, but that answer may disappoint because it won’t be the one we th
 ought we wanted. I call the question posed by my title the aesthetic value 
 question. My discussion of it proceeds in three stages. The first exposes a
  series of assumptions we've been making about the aesthetic value question
 . The second casts doubt on those assumptions. The third provides an answer
  that doesn’t rely on them.</p><p><strong>Bio:</strong><br />Prof. James Sh
 elley is Lloyd and Sandra Nix Endowed Professor of Philosophy at Auburn Uni
 versity. He is author of papers on aesthetic value\, especially as it relat
 es to pleasure and to perception\, on aesthetic judgment\, and on the histo
 ry of philosophical aesthetics. He currently serves as Vice President/Presi
 dent Elect of the American Society for Aesthetics and as Aesthetics Subject
  Editor for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.</p>
