Jow,
Sorry for the delay... I have been looking at a Kantian repulsive
force under my queer prosthetic microscope... on the grounds of
philosophy I am made to feel a queer unwelcomed guest.
You have raised some very interesting points below wrt to aesthetic
disinterest and also advant garde aesthetic interest. I might post
something on this when I get a chance.... I am re-reading Diane Beddoes
PhD thesis which discusses Kantian disinterest in relation to women.
best wishes
Chris Jones.
PS I will defend Gabes posting on Iraq as they express an aesthetics
of interest and most certainly this is of interest to poets.
To say otherwise is simply stupidity, in my aesthetic thought.
