Some Stuff from my Notes... Part II

When discussing the art philosophies that we have about David Hume, I have been noting the things that one would probably have to do in order to properly understand what the most logical objective vs. subjective solution is. What I have determined is that I disagree with the prospect that the book offers when it says that only one who is free of prejudices can accurately classify what is good or bad art. My though is as follows:

:: One must have an understanding that encompases all aspects of art in order to properly understand what good or bad art is, for only a blending of objectivity and subjectivity is what will lead you to the correct answer. Thus the solution becomes a mission to have an objective view to which we can all agree on the truth that it lays out for us to which we can begin our subjective dismantling of it as a whole.

:: If the entirety of art can be categorized into similarities in the same fashion that programs such as "pandora" or "genius" lay out music, then we would have a basis to which we can display our different taste and interests in art. What one person considers art does not necessarily need to agree with anyone else's in this layout, for being able to see the whole grid would allow to quarrelist's to realize that there are no similarities in their taste in comparison to the whole.


How does this sound?

Some Stuff from my Notes

So when it comes to blogging, sometimes I have trouble coming up with something new to discuss that I didn't bring up in class. So today I am going to put up a couple of my thoughts that I have jotted down during class over the course of the past few weeks.

First off, I have this interesting tab from the days that we had spent talking about Dewey. The concepts that I had been considering was the possibility of animals being able to learn how to communicate with us as humans so that we would be able to learn from them. I thought that this was a particularly interesting thing to ponder, for the vast number of things taht we could take away from different animals based on their opinions would be fascinating.

So, I began to wonder what would ned to be done in order to make this concept a reality. The first thought was that we would have to probably pick a subject that the animal would be able to communicate within, but what would be the most logical to start with? Math? Music? Art?

What would the view of art from a birds perspective be?
