Research areas

edit

Shottenkirk's philosophical research focuses on the ways epistemology dovetails with aesthetics, with particular concern regarding issues of perception.[9] Emphasizing the role of gist perception (the first approximate 300ms.) Shottenkirk has developed a theory that explains how the initial gist perception influences both the objective content that we perceive as well as our subjective assessment.[10] In this, she has joined recent research in philosophy that has shown a willingness to diverge from the traditional emphasis on beauty in aesthetics, and to instead focus on the function of art in the formation of social beliefs.[11][12] Her research and writing on Nominalism, with a specific focus on Nelson Goodman, has been extensively cited by publications and other scholars.[13][14][15][16][17]
