Why does anyone presume that there's a problem with the contemporary art world?
How do you know that anything has been falsely valued. What is a false value or a true value? How can something inherently subjective, like a value, be recognized as something inherently objective? You could have said, "I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by the true estimates they have made of the value of things" and you would not have identified anything necessary regarding the causes of human misery because the statement is equally valid or invalid with the term true as it is with the term false. wc ----- Original Message ---- From: joseph berg <[email protected]> To: aesthetics-l <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, April 20, 2012 4:29:10 AM Subject: "I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things." Does that describe at least part of the problem of the contemporary art world?
