AB - There has been a long controversy on the relevance between artists’ intentions and interpretations of artworks among analytic aestheticians.
Intentionalists insist that interpretations of artworks should seek to discover actual artistic intentions of their creators in principle, while non-intentionalists regard the artistic interpretations as tasks to find out publicly realized meanings in the artworks, not what is actually intended.
In the beginning of this debate between intentionalists and non-intentionalists, their positions were constructed in a way of strongly rejecting each other, but the ones recently suggested, such as hypothetical intentionalism and moderate intentionalism, seem to embrace the pre-theoretical intuitions and the interpretive practices that motivate their opponents.
In this paper, I argue that the hypothetical intentionalism can provide more coherent and persuasive explain on the nature of artistic interpretations than its competing theories. For this purpose, I first (1) elucidate the primary point of hypothetical intentionalism by reorganizing the structure of this long debate between intentionalists and non-intentionalists, and (2) compensate the interpretive model of hypothetical intentionalism by considering value-maximizing theory, then (3) suggest more sophisticated and developed interpretive model which is expected to provide us with a better explain on the nature of artistic interpretation.
