Be­ cause I wished to restrict my subject matter in this way, I have made a sharp, and no doubt largely artificial distinction between describing and evaluating. And I must, at the outset, guard against a misreading of this distinction to which I have left myself open. In distinguishing between evaluative and descriptive aesthetic judgments, I am not saying that when I assert \"X is p,\" where p is a \"descriptive\" term like \"unified,\" or \"delicate,\" or \"garish,\" I may not at the same time be evaluating X too; and I am not saying that when I make the obviously \"evaluative\" assertion \"X is good,\" I may not be describing X. Clearly, if I say \"X is unified\" I am evaluating X in that unity is a good-making feature of works of art; and as it is correct in English at least to call an evaluation a description, I do not want to suggest that if an assertion is evaluative, it cannot be de­ scriptive (although there have been many philosophers who have thought this indeed to be the case).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1973-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789024714919\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-2412-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 144\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481138720908,"sku":"9789024714919","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789024714919.jpg?v=1776521673","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789024714919","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
