In the last half century,there were several attempts to adopt the notion of supervenience in order to shed light on the claim of generality that is involved in aesthetic judgments. In this paper I will show the difficulties brought up by the transposition of the notion of supervenience from other areas of philosophy to the philosophy of art and I will also show the intrinsic difficulties of this project. First, I will revise the origins of the notion of supervenience in contemporary ethics and philosophy of mind, as well as the theoretical framework in which this notion was first introduced. Second, I will revise the arguments for and against aesthetic supervenience in the field of analytic philosophy of art. In the rest of this work, I will try to argue against the viability of applying this notion to the relationship between aesthetic and non-aesthetic properties. I will point out the...

En primer lugar, repasaré los orígenes de la noción de superveniencia en la ética y la filosofía de la mente contemporáneas, así como el marco teórico dentro del cual esta noción fue introducida. En segundo lugar, revisaré los argumentos a favor y en contra de la superveniencia estética que se han sucedido en el ámbito de la filosofía analítica del arte. En el resto del trabajo intentaré argumentar en contra de la viabilidad de aplicar la noción de superveniencia ...
