The whole thing is futile.
I am done with these essays but I find that they illuminate more about the human condition than the levinson & davies & kivy that my eyes glaze over.
human life, it is a valuable beautiful incredible miracle. art is amplification, it is criticism, it crafts new impressions in passage of time. i am really upset that i have to study it in this manner.
review tbc. bye guys.

I think there is anger in my heart against the cold philosophy which I am reading for my Oxford tutorial. It's actually white hot. I hate to admit it because I want to love what I am doing here in this wondrous place. I can feel the impossible bubbling of resentment and vengeance against the frigid imposition of rationality (as if humans were rational actors!) upon art, beauty, and aesthetic experience.
