    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→Aesthetic norms requiring purely optical attention cannot be taken seriously as prescriptions.

    A norm premised on a phenomenologically incoherent perceptual state lacks the ontological grip necessary to function as a genuine prescriptive standard in any art-critical practice.

    Key Terms

    Incoherent(describing whether moral responsibility can exist)
    Logically impossible or contradictory; something that cannot make sense or cannot exist at the same time as something else.
    Ontological
    "Ontological" refers to questions about what actually exists or is real. It's concerned with the fundamental nature of being—asking "What kinds of things are there?" rather than "How do we know about them?" For example, an ontological question might be whether numbers, ideas, or God actually exist as real things, or if they're just human inventions.
    Perceptual state(part of the mechanism of perception)
    The experience or mental condition you're in when you're perceiving something—what it's like to see, hear, or feel something at a given moment.
    Phenomenologically(as a method of studying experience)
    Describing things based on how they actually appear or feel in direct human experience, rather than analyzing what might be happening behind the scenes.

    art-critical practice(the field where these norms would be applied)
    The activity of evaluating, analyzing, and judging works of art using criteria and reasoning.
    grip(suggesting whether a norm can actually work or have real force)
    A firm hold or ability to take effect; in this context, the power to actually influence reality or behavior.
    prescriptive standard(what a norm in art criticism does—it prescribes standards rather than merely describing practice)
    A rule or guideline that tells people what they should do or how they should behave (as opposed to describing what actually happens).
