On the tepid recommendation of Cheerskep, I've ordered a copy of
"Philosophies
of Arts: An Essay in Differences", and hope to begin discussing it next week
or so.
I realize that Cheerskep wasn't all that impressed with it -- but then, what
is he
impressed with? (other than Shakespeare)
>From what I could gather from the information on Amazon, Kivy questions how
useful it is
to consider Music. Literature, Painting etc as members of one class of things
("The
Arts")
This is an issue that we have touched upon before -- as we questioned whether
the high
level of skill and technique required for the production of Classical music is
also
necessary in the Visual arts.
My initial take is that there are greater differences within each category
than between
them. (so, for example Andy Warhol has much more in common with punk Rock than
with
Claudio Bravo)
But ... let's see what Kivy has to say.
