There are no independent words in which we symbolize art or aesthetic. But needed for survival organizational structure which even non-humans recognize (flowers, color patterns) exist independently. The words as a symbol of a subject are all ours. Boris Shoshensky To: [email protected] Subject: Re: "What is happening during an 'a.e.'?" Date: Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:23:35 -0800 (PST)
I fully disagree. Here I need to imitate Cheerskep and say there is no independent art or aesthetic. Which leaves the field open for se and ice cream. I'll even go further and say that the aesthetic experience relies on body image, however abstracted or symbolized, and body image is sensual giving my source, Antonio Damasio. And wasn't the Dutton discussion partially accepting the sex metaphor via psychological evolution? And I did relay the fact that American 17C Puritans equated orgasmic sex with union with God. If you are going to assert something, then give us the evidence. wc ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Sun, February 28, 2010 7:55:54 PM Subject: Re: "What is happening during an 'a.e.'?"
