Reflective Equilibrium, Art and Moral Knowledge

Experience of artworks can improve moral knowledge. Some philosophers say that this happens through radical changes of moral seeing. These proposals face the danger of irrationality and moral corruption instead of providing moral development. Artworks contribute better to the improvement of moral knowledge as part of gradual and reflective mutual adjustment and clarification of beliefs. In such a procedure, the moral epistemological role of experience of artworks is part of a wide reflective equilibrium and of the process of refinement of our understanding of general moral principles, in particular of the range of their application.
