Felix asked:
|
|
Pardon me if this sounds unserious, I am an undergraduate philosophy student in a Nigerian
university and I have to write an assignment on a topic I've not thought about before, neither have I
the material. It is, "Discuss the theory of arts and aesthetics in relation to cognitivism and relativism."
|
|
I'd be glad if you can help out and there certainly will be more communication between us, I did not
know of this site before now.
