Work of art is one of the most sophisticated reflections of the human content. My comparison is valid if to take content as " that which is contained in something". Aesthetic info in a form of different kind is "that which is contained" in the all works of art. He is wrong about symphonies and string quartets unless his notion of content is limited to vodka in the bottle.

>I hope Chris misinterprets Kivy. Otherwise Kivy has to choose different profession. It is like separate real human form in its entirety, physical body + results of all brain functions from the content of a human. (Boris) His profession is philosophy, which should make him appropriately skeptical of your analogy. Books, sculptures, paintings, and the symphonies all have some kind of form -- but none of them has anything like a brain. And applying a strict, provable notion of content, Kivy would even say that symphonies and string quartets don't have any of that, either. ____________________________________________________________ Weight Loss Program Best Weight Loss Program - Click Here! http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/c?cp=YLe4x5FzagrSdKJv8gzZUwAAJz6c l_zTaptgNR5c8Mer1v9kAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEUgAAAAA=
