On Metaphysical Value-Judgments
Michael Newberry
argues that, contrary to Rand, Torres and Kamhi (authors of What
Art Is) do not recognize the connections between major art forms
and the metaphysical questions they seek to answer. Many of the
authors' conclusions, including their re-definition of Rand's concept
of art, are based on a negation of these connections. But such links
are crucial to Rand's concept of metaphysical value-judgments;
Newberry provides examples in support of Rand's view.
