This essay would have been 10x better if the author had included at least one concrete example of every category they were attempting to use in their framework; eg
> Art that is good and to your taste
> Art that is bad and to your taste
> Art that is good and not to your taste
> Art that is bad and not to your taste.
Just tell me what you mean so that I can figure out whether I agree or not, please!
- 4lp 4y agoI find these categories to be self explanatory. How would an example help you here?
- vonnik 4y agoAs good writers expand their audience, they slowly narrow the things they consider self-explanatory, because the wider your audience, the fewer shared understandings they all have. The art of explanation, and communication, is finding enlightening ways to make sure your audience understands your frame, even if some will find it repetitive, while others to stretch to grasp it.
- thfuran 4y agoI don't think examples would be repetitive, I think they'd be counterproductive because the tastes of the audience are varied and that would confound the point of the categorization. To the extent that the examples have explanatory power, they'd be explaining the author's taste in art, which isn't relevant.
- bearmode 4y agoI'm honestly not sure what examples you're expecting here, it seems pretty clear?
