The latter model (as well as the claim that it is not in conflict with the former) is defended in

  • Parsons , Glenn G. "Nature Appreciation, Science, and Positive Aesthetics," . British Journal of Aesthetics , How sharp a distinction between the two positions should be maintained is open to question. Glenn Parsons persuasively argues that "positive aesthetics is not a thesis that stands independent of our account of appropriate aesthetic appreciation of nature, something that we have to show follows from that account." Rather he proposes that "positive aesthetics be made 'internal' to the theory of appropriate aesthetic appreciation." See, (forthcoming)

The view as applicable to art appreciation is implicit or explicit in much literature in aesthetics, although my favorite version is the concise presentation in Kendal Walton's seminal article, I elaborate the view utilizing Walton's general framework. For an excellent account of my view in terms of its Waltonian underpinnings, see Parsons, "Nature Appreciation, Science, and Positive Aesthetics."
