Fixing the image : re-thinking the 'mind-independence' of photographs (2009)
Journal Article
Phillips, D. M. (2009). Fixing the image : re-thinking the 'mind-independence' of photographs. Postgraduate journal of aesthetics, 6(2), 1-22

It has been argued that photographs are unsuitable or inferior candidates for art because they are not intimately bound to the mind of an artist. I believe that we can address scepticism in the philosophy of art only if we recognise that it is linked... Read More about Fixing the image : re-thinking the 'mind-independence' of photographs.

According to Roger Scruton, it is not possible for photographs to be representational art.

I argue that expressivism cannot get off the ground. And I argue... Read More about Normativity and the metaphysics of mind.

Th... Read More about The apparent truth of dualism and the uncanny body.
