Hegel would say Art itself peaked with Greek sculpture but it’s kind of for a different reason. I agree with your overall point but I think sculpture might be a bad example in the context of this article. Is it possible that post-peak you k

But in this case Russell was completely wrong because he interprets Descartes' cogito as a syllogism whereas it is a performative statement. Descrates' is only establishing that it's self-evident for himself that he exists, a

Let me unpack this post: 1. You rarely use the default text editor 2. You are very ("Nooooooo!") dismayed by the default text editor change 3. The old editor is one of the best Gnome apps, however you don't indicate whether y

But that's setting the bar a bit low? There are many things that could accomplish this task extremely well (sequencing some kicks snares and hihats). The problem here for me (aside from the terrible writing) is fetishization of old and

I'm gonna be Cartesian tonight and say that some truths are self-evident and one of them is that this article is a joke. As I said in the thread below, I've used this machine and many others and if you've done similiar it sho

Ok and my opinion is that the article is a joke. Also you telling me that it was the pinnacle of beat machines of it's time is like apple conveying to us every time that this is their best computer yet (an even more ridiculous joke).

Did you even read Distinction? Bourdieu's analysis is extremely valuable IMHO even if you disagree with it. He's not really starting from a point of view, but he actually did fieldwork and then synthesized a theory of taste and ho

Kant is not a postmodern, he is the modern if anything. If you are even remotely interested in the subject of aesthetics, it is required reading. It's still quite a subtle and difficult read but not because of him trying to be convol
