Cheerskep; Yes, I think his little new book, The Great Debate About Art, is wonderful. I've read it twice and if I was age 20 again, I'd have it memorized. Alas, I am over 73 and less absorbent. But Harris is right when he says that art, as a supercategory, is being absorbed. wc

But what put me off back then was his own summary of "Integrationism", which you can find at http://www.royharrisonline.com/integrational_linguistics/integrationism_intr oduction.html I won't here try to tackle each paragraph of his text; I'll simply say I was convinced that, beginning as early as with a discussion of his position-title -- 'Integrationism' -- he and I would prove philosophically uncongenial. However I confess I've read too little of his writing to reject him totally. I notice his latest publication is titled "The Great Debate About Art", issued by a Chicago publisher: Prickly Paradigm Press.
