John McCreery quotes from an article, mentioning professional philosophers,
the study of beauty and Alexander Nehamas.


I attended a lecture by Nehamas at U. of Toronto some time ago.  It was a
remarkable lecture because it was a philosophical talk with a slide show of
works of art.  I can't remember the topic, but I remember being impressed by
his passion for thinking about the significance of these works of art.  It
was also his book, "Nietzsche: Life as Literature", that changed how I read
Nietzsche.  I think I will order this most recent book of his.  Thank you
John for mentioning Nehamas.


Sincerely,
