The Artful Brain Conference: Art and Perceptual Play - Mohan Matthen (Toronto)

Art is universally characterized by certain primary attractors (such as pattern, melody, and emotional appeal) which contribute to beauty, as well as by certain secondary attractors, which include form, style, and fine execution, which are supererogatory with respect to beauty. To explain how art emerged, we have to explain both. My explanation here is in terms of value—what of value do we humans get from the attractors? I argue, first, that the primary attractors cannot be explained by appealing to the value of an art object taken in itself. What has to be explained is the value of perceptually contemplating this object (or intellectually contemplating it, but here I confine myself to the perceptual component of art). The framework I use to explain the attractors is that of play and practice in the development of perceptual skill. "Perceptual play" is a way of developing certain perceptual skills; the primary attractors and beauty are connected with the pleasure we get from perceptual play. Art is the production of artefacts that can be used for perceptual play.I argue, second, that explaining the primary attractors is not enough. One has also to explain what value there is in constraining these by form and by high standards of execution. In my view, the secondary attractors are connected with features on which we can practice to attain ever-higher levels of perceptual discrimination.

President Trump's Inaugural Address - Philosophy and Current Events

source: Gregory B. Sadler 2017年1月24日
On January 20, 2017, after being sworn in as President of the United States, Donald Trump gave his inaugural address. This had been billed earlier by his incoming press secretary, Sean Spicer, as a "philosophical document". In this video, I provide my reflections, as a philosopher, on some of the key themes of the address. I also at some points draw connections and comparisons to inaugural speeches by other presidents.

1:45 - is it a "philosophical speech"?
6:21 - key theme: orderly transfer of power in democracy
8:15 - key theme: power returning to the people
12:41 - key theme: political elites exploit the people
22:29 - key theme: ordinary Americans are hurting
31:11 - key theme: glossing over divisions of race, gender, etc.
36:35 - key theme: restoring unity to America
42:42 - key theme: America first and national autarky
51:10 - key theme: action in place of empty words
54:22 - the performative nature of the speech, and closing thoughts

Michael Hardt On Revolution And Democracy

source: Eidos84 2010年12月2日
'Michael Hardt On Revolution and Democracy'. For Hardt, 'revolution requires a transformation in human nature so that people are capable of democracy'. However, he opposes any dialectical notions of this transformation, and argues instead that the achievement of true democracy, and the concomitant transformation of human nature, must be enacted 'positively'; that is, where democracy is engaged in consciously, and from the outset, rather than arising from a dialectical synthesis of opposites (for instance, Lenin would claim that true democracy can only arise subsequent to the revolution and the installation of the 'dictatorship of the proletariat'). For Hardt, revolution and the transformation of human nature will require 'instigating utopia every day'.

Walter Kaufmann: Kierkegaard and the Crisis in Religion

source: Eidos84 2011年1月7日
"Kierkegaard and the Crisis in Religion", the first part of Walter Kaufmann's famous 1960 lecture series on existentialism. Kaufmann begins by explaining that existentialists share as many differences as other schools of philosophy. First coined to refer to the theories of Jaspers and Heidegger, existentialism became primarily associated with the work of Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Nietzsche, all radical individualists who found previous philosophical systems lacking. Kaufmann explains their writings as an answer to the modern crises in religion, philosophy and morality.
