Sažetak
My aim in this paper is to explore the role of curiosity in our aesthetic experiences of art, particularly from the perspective of aesthetic cognitivism - the view that art is cognitively valuable and that it provides knowledge, understanding and other epistemic gains. I argue that curiosity contributes significantly to one's motivation to attend to a particular work, to one's taking pleasure in it and to one's gaining cognitive benefits from the work. Incorporating insights from cognitive aesthetics, I use my account to address certain challenges directed at aesthetic cognitivism in order to show that art is cognitively valuable, and that this value plays an important part in generating pleasure in our aesthetic experiences.
