In Utusan, readers of the Borneo Post get a column on thinking about thinking.
[O]ur lived experience tells us that things are never so clear cut as either-or. For instance, how do you tell the difference between art and trash? Where is the borderline between classical music and hip-hop? The 20th century philosopher Martin Heidegger even proposed that logic can work only with objects in the natural world, and not man’s human, aesthetic, and spiritual world. Therefore, if God is almighty, he cannot be ruled by the laws of logic.
I find a good nose to be invaluable in distinguishing art from trash.
