Na temat estetycznej teorii sztuki Nicka Zangwilla (On Nick Zangwill's aesthetic theory of art)Sztuka I Filozofia (Art and Philosophy) 35 7-16. 2009.This essay is a discussion and critical analysis of Nick Zangwill's theory of art. Zangwill's theory makes aesthetic intention (or "aesthetic insight") central to the status of art in various articles and in his book, Aesthetic Creation (OUP, 2007). The present essay focuses on the analysis found in his book and in particular whether Zangwill's theory adequately addresses the nature of avant-garde works of art.

118A Paradox in IntentionalismBritish Journal of Aesthetics 45 (1): 32-48. 2005.I argue that intentionalism in aesthetics and in legal interpretation is vulnerable to a different sort of criticism than is found in the voluminous literature on the topic.

73Irony, metaphor, and the problem of intentionIn Gary Iseminger (ed.), Intention and interpretation, Temple University Press. pp. 183--202. 1992.This essay considers the reliability and proper role of authorial intention in the interpretation of figurative language and argues that, even in cases of metaphor and irony, the meaning of a text must remain logically independent of the intent of its historical author.
