Philosophy r professor delves into world of art (Continued from Page 3) 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.
