Theorizing about this is one of the most challenging discussion in philosophical
aesthetics. Instead of endless disussions about
aesthetics subjectivity or objectivity, Frank
Sibley as an effective aesthetic philosopher in
twentieth century tried to propell it to colors’
objectivity and to prove, on this basis, the
objectivity of aesthetic qualities.
In this paper while clarifying Sibley’s
point of view, I will try to criticize his theory
and to see if he was successful in gaining
victory against sophists and subjectivists or
not. Finally, it will be concluded that although
Sibley has failed in proving the objectivity of
aesthetic concepts, he has opened a way that
can help people for importing philosophy in
their life and that’s what really important.
