摘要：

Do aesthetic reasons have normative authority over us? Could there be anything like an aesthetic 'ought' or an aesthetic obligation? I argue that there are no aesthetic obligations. We have reasons to act certain ways regarding various aesthetic objects - most notably, reasons to attend to and appreciate those objects. But, I argue, these reasons never amount to duties. This is because aesthetic reasons are merely evaluative, not deontic. They can only entice us or invite us - they can never compel us. Beauty gives us goods without shoulds.
