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...

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.

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.

In a series of important monographs and articles, Michael Friedman has helped us to appreciate this disjunction as philosophically deep and as historically momentous. [...] in Dynamics of Reason (2001), Reconsidering Logical Positivism (1999), and elsewhere, Friedman argues that, as a matter of intellectual history, Poincaré's refusal to extend Kant's account of mathematical synthesis from arithmetic to geometry contributed to the collapse of Kant's distinction between forms of intuition and concepts of the understanding - a collapse crucial to the formation of both the continental and analytical traditions in philosophy and to the development of his own version of neoKantianism.4 While we can now better appreciate its historical importance, I do not think we have yet a clear picture o...
