- Description
- In what follows, I assume that visible content is a matter of resemblance, although I will leave it open exactly how resemblance serves to determine visible content. I will concentrate on two issues: first, whether the intentions of a picture’s maker can provide the basis for an adequate standard of correctness, and second, how we are able to apply such a standard. Given that an object has a certain visible content, therefore, I want to know whether the intentions of that object’s maker are adequate to determine both whether that object is a picture and, if so, what its depictive content is. I also want to know how we are able to tell what the intentions of an object’s maker were, without having any independent knowledge of these intentions.
