Reason and Controversy in the Arts
Author: Mortimer R. Kadish
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351494678
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
This study is a fresh and original attempt to liberate the theory of criticism from the limitations of connoisseurship, and the assumptions of aesthetics from the difficulties and paradoxes of aesthetic relativism. It presents a picture of what rationality in the assessment of the arts would be like if one were expected to justify one's decisions in and about the arts.Kadish focuses upon the way in which competent and reasonable people express their differences, not upon the way they instruct novices. Among good critics, the author proposes, differences are not managed as differences concerning matters of taste, nor would anyone presume otherwise were it not for a prior and gratuitous choice of a context of consumption for considering the arts. The author examines the hypothesis that differences of opinion in artistically relevant controversy are in a fundamental sense practical, that when critics of the arts differ seriously, proposals for the proper conduct of the arts and a procedure for interpretation of the arts are what is at issue.To understand the special logic of controversy in the arts Kadish compares that controversy with legally relevant and scientifically relevant controversies. Finally, the arts and criticism are found to be parts of a coherent enterprise the criteria of which are generated in an evolving practice, as are the criteria of law. This illuminating discourse is of continuing relevance to those interested in aesthetics.

Pages : 258
Book Description
Bella I was just a lost little girl looking for a way out when I stumbled into that club. I never could have imagined the hell I was about to walk into. From the moment I laid eyes on Salvatore, I knew he was dangerous - the charming, lethal Mafia boss who ruled this criminal underworld. Every instinct should have told me to run, to get as far away from him as possible. But there was something about Salvatore that drew me in, like a moth to a flame. Against my better judgment, I found myself falling under his spell. Now I'm trapped in his ruthless world, at the mercy of a man who views me as nothing more than a possession to be controlled. I'm terrified, but I can't deny the dark, primal pull I feel towards him. Salvatore promises to protect me, but I know the true price will be my soul. Salvatore I saw her on that stage, dancing like she was made for this life - for me. Bella was a rare treasure, a delicate beauty that I had to possess. The moment our eyes met, I knew I had to have her, no matter the cost. This girl was going to be mine, whether she liked it or not. I'm a man accustomed to getting what I want, and I won't let anyone or anything stand in my way - not the law, not my enemies, not even Bella herself. She thinks she can run, that she can escape the darkness of my world. But I'll always find her, always drag her back into the shadows where she belongs. Bella may fight me, but in the end, she'll submit. She'll learn to crave the thrill of being owned by the most powerful man in the Mafia. And when I'm done with her, no other man will ever satisfy her again.
