How do we arrive at our judgements about "good" and "bad" in art, music, and writing? Are matters of aesthetic judgement in certain respects objective and a priori (as some philosophers would have it) or are they a posteriori and the result of social and cultural conditioning? Is there "no disputing about tastes," as the Latin phrase de gustibus non est disputandum suggests, or is cultural "taste" normative and determined by "difference" and social class?
These are among the questions raised by the controversial phenomenon known as "Flarf" poetry. Flarf, which originated a little over a decade ago as a series of pranks orchestrated by a cell of experimental poets but has since emerged as a full scale insurgency, is a sophisticated attempt to challenge our assumptions about reading i...

Bolzano, a contemporary of Hegel's whom Dummett has called the great-grandfather of analytic philosophy4 devoted considerable time and ink to attacks on Hegel generally and on the Philosophy of Nature in particular; he repeatedly uses the heading Hegel's Ignorance for his notebook entries on that text.5 Helmholtz, the sober-minded scientist and prominent member of the back to Kant movement that eventually led to 20thcentury neo-Kantianism and positivism, also singles out this part of Hegel's system for scorn, saying that upon its release it appeared to natural scientists to be, at the very least, absolutely senseless.

The rules of the epistemological game are laid down in such a way that it is a priori that the skeptic will lose. [...] contemporary epistemology defines a clear-cut criterion of its success, namely the capacity to address the question whether a given epistemological setting is able to refute skepticism or, at the very least, to obviate its supposedly destructive effects.

(ProQuest: ... denotes formulae omitted.) IN THEIR AQUINAS LECTURES, given at Marquette University in 1990 and 1992 respectively, Alasdair Maclntyre and Ernán McMullin offer a defense and a critique of Aristotle's theory of science in the Posterior Analytics. l McMullin's interpretation, informed by a lifetime of accomplishment in contemporary philosophy of science, is negative about the treatise as either an adequate description of natural science or a normative account of it. McMullin contends that fruitful science relies on theory, and that there is precious little theory in Aristotle's conception of science or his practice of it.10 Specifically, he charges that Aristotle's scientific universale are tied too closely to perception, and that his causes are linked to essences conceived...
