Critics of the target article objected to our account of art appreciators' sensitivity to art-historical contexts and functions, the relations among the modes of artistic appreciation, and the weaknesses of aesthetic science. To rebut these objections and justify our program, we argue that the current neglect of sensitivity to art-historical contexts persists as a result of a pervasive aesthetic–artistic confound; we further specify our claim that basic exposure and the design stance are necessary conditions of artistic understanding; and we explain why many experimental studies do not belong to a psycho-historical science of art.
批评目标文章的人反对我们对艺术欣赏者对艺术史背景和功能的敏感性、艺术欣赏模式之间的关系以及审美科学的弱点的描述。为了反驳这些反对意见并证明我们的计划是合理的，我们认为，目前对艺术史背景的敏感性的忽视仍然是一种普遍的审美与艺术混淆的结果；我们进一步具体说明我们的主张，即基本的接触和设计立场是艺术理解的必要条件；我们解释了为什么许多实验研究不属于艺术的心理历史科学。
