ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an introduction to moral value and aesthetic value, followed by a thought experiment. It is followed by a short discussion and then a series of questions. Generally people make moral judgements: for example, it is right to give money to charity and aesthetic judgements: for example, that Michelangelo's David is beautiful. The thought experiment presents a clear view of the link between these two judgements. The thought experiment is done with the case of film making, with this experiment three possible responses are analysed such as autonomism, immoralism, moralism. The questions are intended to get the philosophy students thinking about the problems. They have used these kinds of questions in seminars as the questions set for seminars, so they also think that they can be used to spark conversation and discussion. The chapter also gives a cursory sketch of some of the ways in which philosophers have responded to the thought experiment.
