Writing about myopic scientists, philosopher James Lovelock noted that “the most successful among them are the ones who hold on to their ideas the longest and who slow the progress in their fields the most.” The same is true in the art world, where many embrace Descartes’s model of “I think, therefore I am.” They wrongly believe that art is about understanding, when, like almost everything else in the everyday world, art is about experience. These latter-day Cartesians act like coroners, regularly pronouncing dead that which they don’t approve of or can’t explain. They say the author is dead, painting is dead, history is dead, and so on. As Midgley points out, “Imaginative systems don’t suddenly perish and they don’t go away until the things they were invented to deal with have been resolved.”
