If everyone were as reluctant as Mando to elevate one person's feelings above another's and then discuss the reasons, there would be no reason to discuss aesthetics at all(but even Mando is not consistent in that regard -- if you remember his recent dismay concerning the sculpture of Robert Graham)
"Sentimentality" has been an important word in the modern discussion of aesthetics -- though I'm not sure it dates back any earlier. (perhaps -- because it only became an issue with the rise of the bourgeoisie and the commercialization of high culture) For William, it's still an important word --- for me, not so much -- and apparently the rest of us here don't care much one way or the other. ____________________________________________________________ Click to become a designer and quit your boring job. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/fc/PnY6rc0orvk7sPVQjJ0Pl3GNaGcSIV 3P7uFRFqudRKes8kXCxTXtq/
