Yes. Imagine being in a philosophy class and constantly hearing, why are we studying dead white European males?

Yes, not disagreeing. But just because others treat me as type 'white male' does not mean I must treat myself that way.

As a social being I understand that others see me as a type. I know others may see me as a type. But I do not experience the world as a type. I am not...

I don't experience myself that way, it is just an event. I know this seems to trivialize discrimination, but there is a distinction to be made between...

Yes, but I don't think that is what "experience" means.

A shame you write insults. Not responding.

Aristotle's ethics are not teleological. Sometimes called virtue ethics, it is just about better ways to act. It is empirical or observable in that we...

Alberti defines painting as a "projection of lines and colours onto a surface", (On Painting, Alberti, 1435). http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/old-mast...

I don't agree with that about art. Seriously, artists always knew what they were doing was fake. If people wanted to commission portraits they wanted ...

Can you say more about that? Led to where?

So art, tragedies, copy an action and is imitative that way. Not ideals, but actions or plots. You're not imitating something that happened, you're co...

Religious relics used for worship, for example.

Going back to ancient world. For Aristotle, sense perception (aesthesis) cannot take place without the imagination (phantasia).(De Anima). So we can i...

It is in Aristotle. Mimesis means both invention and copying. I have the exact passage if you want it.

Art has always been about how things are perceived. No one invented that.

I honestly do not know about this. Please tell me.

For Leonardo, and the Renaissance, it was about the end of seeing the world--quite literally--as an expression of the Divine (God). As I said, perspec...

I am, and have been, a painter. All about how we see. The sensations and what they make us think about.

Because the geometry of a picture plane was new. Using the abstract math of architecture was a new thing.

If you can't remember the critic or artist it is hard to discuss this. The artist Frank Stella used to say, "What you see is what you see."

Maybe. But, really, I don't agree with any of that. Art is about the sensual. Kant never understood that.

Weird.

Can you give an example of censorship?

Not sure what that means.

Vision is a function of the technical. Nothing to do with "reshuffling." For example, Space in paintings was fairly flat. Not because they did not kno...

What, specifically?

Hume believed continuity of physical objects is an illusion and our perceptions are really of discrete objects or events. He had a digital idea of per...

Cubism came about in response to impressionism and the flattening out of the picture plane. Perspective was a deliberate construction of visual/optica...

No offense, but I never read stuff just because someone posts it quoting someone. Make an argument.

All thought is perception for Hume. And thus content.

What is that exactly?

Your whole comment was very good, thank you. Hume's critique of identity is that everything is relational. A hand is five fingers but we call it one t...

Whole world, every historian, says the Armenian Genocide is fact. There is no controversy. Just Turkey lying about their responsibility.

Yes, and he was wrong. Science does not explain anything but purely physical movements.

Kant is like an engineer explaining all the parts in great detail. But you're left with: Yes, but what is the point?

I find Kant's influence to be mostly negative. It makes smart people stupid.

France has laws making it illegal to lie about the Armenian Genocide happening.. This is because Turkey spreads lies and propaganda and denies they co...

Good. My question as well.

Pretty good summary of Kant. And I don't agree with Kant at all.

Exactly. You gave no argument.

I missed that. Post your refutation. Telling someone to go read something is not an argument.

So, you have no idea what Kant said.

If you read it, make his argument.

Kantian aesthetics never asks, how does it make you feel? They reduce sensations, feelings, emotions to judgments.

Yes, Kant reduces ontology to epistemology.

Actually, they usually do. Again, emphasis on formal analysis. Treating the art object as not having practical purpose. Appealing to universality of j...

"Kant After Duchamp", by Thierry de Duve. He came to one of my art classes. Talked about Kant.

"As Kant said in the Critique of Judgment...." Another sign of Kantian aesthetics. Pretty exact, actually.

When a philosopher says, I am using Kant's theory of art to explain this artwork, they are a Kantian.
