Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism explores the nature of art, aesthetic value, and creativity, with a particular focus on the impact of artificial intelligence on artistic production and appreciation. Recent articles examine AI as an artistic medium, aesthetic bias in AI, interpretational creativity, and the ontological status of AI-generated images. The journal also addresses broader philosophical questions concerning tragedy, epistemological horror, true crime as a genre, and aesthetic injustice.
