Exemplification (Aesthetics, art theory)

Goodman's most significant contribution to art theory-- exemplification--is controversial because the right method to use it is not easy to determine. To overcome some typical objections one should recognize there are independent levels of exemplification that pertain to different features and cooperate in the same work. This amounts to criticizing the sample model with regard to cultural entities. Cubist pasted papers are adequate candidates to carry off this analysis.
