Regarding art and science, Sullivan would probably agree with William that "the former is not possible without the latter and vice-versa" -- and yet still, his emphasis on the subjective would have made him a very poor scientist, just as the pragmatist (as defined by Frances) will never have anything of value to contribute to the arts. (except, perhaps, to market it) >Several years ago, Antonio Damasio wrote a whole book on this: The Feeling of What Happens. Others have added to the thesis through extended clinical research. By dividing art as a matter of feeling and instinct from science as a matter of rationality, Frances misses the measured evidence that the former is not possible without the latter and vice-versa. (WC) >For the pragmatist, all judgement is critical and is fundamentally based on skeptical doubt, but eventually may lead to fallible belief.(Frances) ____________________________________________________________ Learn from the comfort of your home.
