Blumson, Ben.
Resemblance and Representation : An Essay in the Philosophy of Pictures. - 1st ed. - 1 online resource (224 pages)
Intro -- onefour -- onefive -- onesix -- onenine -- oneeight -- oneten -- twotwo -- twothree.
The book argues that the apparently compelling objections raised against the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance are manifestations of more general problems, which are familiar from the philosophy of language. These problems, it argues, can be resolved by answers analogous to their counterparts in the philosophy of language, without rejecting the platitude. So the combination of the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance with a close analogy between depiction and description turns out to be a compelling theory of depiction, which combines the virtues of common sense with the insights of its detractors.
