A few questions:
  1. Are moral values and aesthetic values truly distinct categories?
  2. If not, then isn't the moral realist committed to the existence of objective aesthetic values?

There is a great deal of evil pouring through our tv screens parading as entertainment, so I'm sure there is a moral responsibility concerned with the creation of art.
