Art, Morality and Ethics: On the (Im)Moral Character of Art Works and Inter-Relations to Artistic Value by Matthew Kieran Abstract: The (im)moral character of art works often affects how we respond to them. But should it affect our evaluation of them as art? The article surveys the contemporary debate whilst outlining further lines of argument and enquiry.The main arguments in favour of aestheticism, the claim that there is no internal relation between artistic value and moral character, are considered. Nonetheless the connection between art’s instructional aspirations and artistic value, as well as the ways in which works solicit responses from us, underwrite the claim that a work’s moral character can be directly relevant to a work’s value as art. Various competing accounts of how the relationship goes, ethicism, moderate moralism and immoralism, are considered. The article goes on to elaborate novel considerations in favour of a suitably qualified cognitive immoralism and suggests avenues of further enquiry with respect to the moral character of art works.

Passage from the article: "While earlier gekiga works remained commercialist-oriented, the shifts of generic focuses from boy-oriented genres such as adventure, science fiction, and sports to film noir-inspired mystery, suspense, and horror, commenced a nascent exploration of the darker side of humanity and society. In retrospect, one of the earlier gekiga’s achievements was to make other manga creators—and possibly editors and publishers, too— realize new potentials of the medium for formula-defying, innovative narratives or artistic expression, breaking with conventions of postwar mainstream story manga that catered to children. In fact, it can be argued that Tezuka Osamu’s adult- themed works (such as Phoenix, Buddah, and MW) and Nakazawa Keiji’s internationally well-known work Barefoot Gen (with its graphic depictions of hibakusha) were possible in the comics cultural landscape which gekiga had cultivated from the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s."
