Coming up at Verdurin: The Return of Aesthetics, part two of @ja_koster's popular seminar on the history of the idea. verdur.in/event/the-retu… What was aesthetics? How did philosophers theorising sensation respond to its questions, and how did their responses change with time? How did social conditions shape aesthetic discourse? Why did beauty assume the philosophical importance it did, ultimately achieving parity with the true, and the good? With canonical texts by the likes of Alexander Baumgarten, Joshua Reynolds, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Charles Baudelaire.
"...the electorate has rejected not only a candidate but the social paradigm she represents. Voters have said no to a liberal maternalism that offers containment behind a façade of care." @AshleyAFrawley for @compactmag compactmag.com/article/the-fa…

As Germany gears up to celebrate Kant's 300th birthday, commentators are falling over each other to claim that "Radical thinker Immanuel Kant remains as relevant as ever". They are right. But in Susan Neiman's excellent piece for the NYT one sentence stood out for me. 1/

Not so long ago, the left was alive to this basic thought, praising the figure of "the philistine" as the aesthete's necessary double. When a genuine philistine assumed office, they closed ranks and frowned with patrician scorn. compactmag.com/article/the-li…
The reason behind the liberal meltdown over Trump was "fundamentally aesthetic," writes Adam Lehrer. "To be governed by a man of vulgar taste is an unbearable calamity." The objective character of taste reveals itself in what is excluded from it.
BBC 4 have notorious regime shill Christopher Steele on to defend "serious journalism" against Tucker Carlson's "propaganda" - you can't make this up.
"Wilders wants more affordable health care, more generous pensions, and an increase in government allowances. This munificence goes hand in hand with a project that seeks to clarify who forms part of the polity and who can legitimately be excluded from it."
