i've often said that west anderson just doesn't do it for me, but i also can recognize the artistic quality of his movies. Andnd, i think this is in agreement with what you just said. In that case, a certain degree of diversity in judgment is unavoidable. We seek in vain for a standard by which we can reconcile the contrary sentiments.
Many of us think that art is subjective, but at the same time it seems like some artistic judgments are better than others. Do you think Crash deserved to receive an award for Best Picture? Did you like Season 2 of Ted Lasso? Well you’re wrong. So how do we reconcile these two conflicting attitudes about art? David and Tamler turn to David Hume’s classic essay Of the Standard of Taste (link in notes) for help. Will Pizarro finally see the error of his ways on Straw Dogs?
Plus a doozy of a medical ethics paper – should we allow people to change their legal age if it doesn’t match their "biological" and "emotional" age?
