to what a child does when he or she
plays with dolls.
"When a child plays with a doll, there
is a fictional world where that child,
exists (as a mother feeding a baby, for
example). When a spectator looks at a
painting, there is also a fictional'world
in which that spectator exists.
"One way of looking at paintings is to
say that they create a fictional world
separate from all of us; we are here,
the painting is a few feet away. But if
that is true, that raises the question of
why we're interested at all. If it's fic-
p tional, why does it matter? My theory is
a way of explaining why it matters."
Walton developed his theory after a
year of thinking and "reading
everything I could lay my hands on."
He added that a philosopher's "data"
is unlike the data collected by resear-
chers iii other fields. "Much of the
'data' I work with are data we're all
familiar with-empirical information
all of us have from our own experiences
with the arts. Everyone knows
something about films simply because
they've gone to them. What I do is bring
information from other areas of
philosophy and apply it to aesthetics.
One bandit pointed a .357-caliber
Magnum revolver at Bulman, and the
agent began to struggle with him. At
that point, Sheafe said, the other robber
grabbed the shotgun.
