- Title
Rough Heroes: A Response to A.W. Eaton.
- Authors
CARROLL, NOËL
- Abstract
The author responds to the article "Robust Immoralism" by A.W. Eaton published in a previous issue of the journal. More specifically, the author responds to Eaton's challenge of his theory of moderate moralism, the claim that in some cases a moral defect in an artwork counts as an aesthetic defect. Eaton challenged this view by claiming that sometimes an intrinsic ethical defect in an artwork can be aesthetically meritorious, a view she calls robust immoralism. The author employs Eaton's own example of the character of Tony Soprano on the television show "The Sopranos" to refute her argument.
