2003, Jerrold Levinson, “Philosophical Aesthetics: An Overview”, in Jerrold Levinson, editor, The Oxford Handbook of Aesthetics, Oxford, Oxfordshire: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, part I (Background), page 12:Mention must also be made here of Goodman (1968), a rather different approach to theorizing the aesthetic, which offers five symptoms, not of aesthetic propertyhood, but of aesthetic functioning on the part of a symbol system: syntactic density; semantic density; relative repleteness; exemplificationality; and complex reference. On such a multi-dimensional conception, aestheticness obviously becomes very much a matter of degree.
