Is Aesthetic Relativism not only the cancer killing quality literature, but quality art in general?
>>7368468
Yep.
We've destroyed God, nation, our characters, our genders, our families, our communities and even beauty itself. There is nothing to do but wait to be swallowed up by Hades itself.

>Thinks that history is the struggle of ideas and not the struggle of classes.
>>7368546
It's neither. Hegel's is more sensible than Marx's though, for the same reason that theistic evolution is more sensible than materialist evolution - matter cannot be its own creative principle.

This is hardcore. Please tell me you're a flat earther too.

>hey guys I'm 15 and just read The German Ideology and I'm the most rational person on earth and have unique, complete insight into all matters of existence xD

I was responding the evolution denying.
>>7368577
He wasn't denying evolution, try reading posts until you comprehend them next time.
You've created an artificially relative problem.

The good news is that I finally got around to reading Aristotle's Poetics and can tell SJW politburo where my idea of objective criticism comes from and why feminist "criticism" is a war crime against art.
>>7368536
Bookburners can't divorce their aesthetics from their politics.
>>7368569
>hey guys I'm a massive poo poo head xD
you aren't satisfied with the art created in 19th and 20th century?
>>7368471
This but unironically m8

Prove how you can have any objective absolute universal statement /lit/.
Even apriori mathematical formulas are inherently reliable on the OPINION that such an internal system is a) valid and b) logical ; which may not be the case at all if we were to assume, as Hume argues "the imagination is free to consider either side", the possibility (note: just a possibility but still an irrefutable one) of an absurd or unreasonable universe, ie: a dream.
Genuinely curious how you can formulate any truth statement without an axiom/assumption/opinion.

Could you summarise what Artistotle's ideas about objective criticism are? This sounds interesting to me, I've never read any aristotle

Oh and another question (I'm >>7368847), does anyone know what edition of poetics is better? I'm looking at the penguin version (translated by malcolm heath) and the oxford version (translated by sir anthony kenny), both about the same price on bookdepository. Which one should I get? this shit sounds right up my alley
