PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS / ALLOCUTION PRSIDENTIELLE

Canadian Journal of Philosophy Distinguished Lecture

Tim Kenyon

Dominic McIver Lopes

(University of Waterloo)

(University of British Columbia)

Eliteness and Diversity in Philosophy

La hirarchie et la diversit en philosophie

How to Get Practical about Aesthetic Value

What if aesthetic values give agents reasons to act? The supposition that aesthetic values are
practical values suggests how to diagnose a fundamental error of traditional theories of aesthetic
value and reorients attention on a neglected sample of aesthetic acts with features that a theory
of aesthetic value should explain. I sketch the main components of a theory that locates the
normativity of aesthetic value in the expert performances of socially-situated aesthetic agents.

Dominic McIver Lopes is Distinguished University Scholar and Professor in the Department of
Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. His research focusses on pictorial
representation and perception; the aesthetic and epistemic value of pictures, including scientific
images; theories of art and its value; the ontology of art; computer art and new art forms; and
aesthetic value, wherever it may be found. Lopes is past president of the American Society for
Aesthetics, a member of the editorial boards of several journals including the Journal of the
American Philosophical Association and the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism. Working
with Berys Gaut he co-edits Wiley-Blackwells New Directions in Aesthetics book series. He has
held visiting positions around the world and has won, among other awards, both a Guggenheim
Fellowship and a Killam Research Prize. He is working on a book entitled Being for Beauty:
Aesthetic Agency and Value.

Philosophy has one of the least gender-balanced and diverse demographics

in the Humanities. It has also shown a widespread deference to unofficial
program rankings, used despite profound methodological defects. I suggest
that these problems are significantly linked: notions of eliteness and hierarchy
in Philosophy impede efforts for inclusiveness and diversity.
La philosophie est l'une des disciplines o le dsquilibre entre les sexes et le
manque de diversit ethnique et raciale sont les plus forts. Les soi-disant
classements de programmes inofficiels, utiliss en dpit de dfaut
mthodologiques profonds, contribuent ce problme: ils consolident des
notions d'litisme et de hirarchie qui font obstacle l'inclusion et la diversit.

CPA Tradition: Chairs are assigned by fiat. Read all the programme carefully. If
the assignment is inconvenient, please arrange for a substitute.
Une vielle tradition de lACP veut que les prsident-e-s de session soient assigne-s doffice. Lisez bien tout le programme. Si lattribution ne vous convient pas, svp
