About authors:
An Jing, Ph. D., is an associate professor at the School of Liberal Art, Minzu University of China. Her research interests focus on aesthetics of literature and art and art semiotics.
Art forgery is generally discussed from such
perspectives as its aesthetic value, artistic value, and artistic system, but little
attention has been paid to the cognitive value of forgery. The cognition of
fakes involves “confusing the real with the fake” and “replacing the real with the
fake”, which is relevant to the cognitive probability problem of inductive
logic. The cognition of forgery is connected to the inductive paradox proposed
by Nelson Goodman. Whether it is “confusing the real with the fake” or “replacing
the real with the fake,” our cognitive process of forgery engages a “symbolizational
intentionality” process, that is, the three stages of perceptual intuition,
formal intuition, and essential intuition. The ultimate goal is to leave the
artistic text and enter the final “essential intuition,” in which there is a
possible space for exploring the philosophical dimension of art semiotics. Through
exploring the dialectical tension between empiricism and idealism from the
cognitive logic of fakes, breaking the binary opposition between the two, and
further integrating human intellectual resources on the basis of practice, art
semiotics is made possible for us to truly move towards the realm of philosophy
and face the ultimate pursuit of human thought.
