"I just don't see how a methodology which is supposedly value-free can pronounce on the value of artifacts."
Some artifacts serve as better scientific evidence than others -- that's how. So an archaic torso of Apollo might be worthless to an archaeologist, even if it inspires a poet to write "You must change your life" The subjugation of the humanities to the sciences is an old story of the 20th Century -- and yet it continues full-steam -- as we find a new, popular journalist, like Lehrer, proclaiming that the canonical artists of modernism really did make important contributions to science. (so now we can admire them even more!) It's so pathetic. ____________________________________________________________ Are you a homeowner in debt? Need cash now?
