Abstract

In this paper, we study the skeptical drift in current aesthetics, which has questioned some different truths assumed by modern aesthetics, especially those that made art prevail over non-art. This newly discovered power structure within aesthetics is approached here from Fricker’s epistemic injustices perspective. We relate this perspective to the aesthetics of everyday life because the everyday was traditionally deprived of their hermeneutic and testimonial capacity for not responding to the main artistic standard. So, the everyday is proposed here as a corrective to the injustices committed by modern aesthetics by elevating art to a dogma of faith.
