Does it differ fundamentally from nearby concepts such as PRETTINESS? It is argued that BEAUTY, but not PRETTINESS, is a dual-character concept. Across a number of contexts, it is proposed that BEAUTY has a descriptive sense that is characterised by, inter alia, having intrinsically pleasing appearances; and a normative sense associated with deeply-held values. This account is supported across two, pre-registered, studies (N=500), and by drawing on analysis of corpus data. It is suggested that this can help to explain why beauty, unlike prettiness, is thought to be deep in both the sense of being important, and in the sense of being less closely tied to sensory surfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio<\/strong>: I&#8217;m a philosopher and cognitive scientist at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Barcelona, where I am a Ram\u00f3n y Cajal Fellow. I am a member of LOGOS and the Barcelona Institute for Analytic Philosophy (BIAP). I completed the majority of my postdoctoral work at the University of Cambridge between 2018-2022, and prior to that did my PhD (Philosophy), MA (Philosophy) and B.Sci (Natural Sciences: Biology, Psychology &amp; Philosophy) at the Universities of Antwerp, Sheffield, King&#8217;s College London and Durham. I&#8217;ve held visiting positions at the Institut Jean Nicod (2023-24) and Uppsala University (2024). I was awarded the 2024 Arthur Danto\/American Society of Aesthetics Prize by the American Philosophical Association. I was Co-Director of the project \u00abHigher Values: Aesthetic Experiences, Transcendence &amp; Prosociality\u00bb at the University of Cambridge (2022-2025, funded by the Templeton Religion Trust) with Simone Schnall. \u200bI&#8217;m also Chair of the iCog network, and from 2015-2018 was co-editor of the British Society of Aesthetics&#8217; journal Debates in Aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TeC_RyanDoran-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TeC_RyanDoran-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TeC_RyanDoran-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TeC_RyanDoran-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TeC_RyanDoran-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TeC_RyanDoran.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El martes, 8 de julio, a las 11.30, en la Sala de Juntas de Filosof\u00eda, tuvo lugar la \u00faltima sesi\u00f3n de este curso del seminario TeC-FiloLab.
