Re: The "Offended" re-replies....

I probably discarded his aesthetics (whatever they were) along with everybody else's, but I thought his "maxim" was particularly apt in the present case: If we all had responses requesting a "check in," the list would be dysfunctional.P.S Judy, I will leave Kant to you. I have never liked his ethics. More of a Nietsche man at heart. I like that he tells us to live an aesthetic life and also when he tells us what is wrong with Kant. As for Nietsche -- I suppose no one with so many afterlives can be all bad, but I prefer Freud. PS. Do we, does anybody, have an "aesthetics" any more? Like what? In photography? J.
