This table was taken from Arthur Koestler's The Act of Creation. Upheld as one of the most influential art theorist, Koestler was one of the assigned readings in our Humanidades 2. The graph demonstrates the spectrum of position taken by different human endeavors. Being highly subjective, are you still convinced that art (,or writing for that matter,) is non-political?
Pity I didn't give this much thought back then.
Must be the nostalgic-i-miss-schooling-days setting in.
I miss learning. (sigh)

ganun.. yung history nagmukhang subjective kasi di man lang nagitna. mukhang subjective din ang stages of objectivity and subjectivity na ito ah..
hehe. may point naman si Koestler, stray. sciences kasi ang addicted sa laws. humanities, medyo pa-humanistic (?!) haha.
di nako naniniwala sa objectivity friend. sabi nga ni C.W. Mills, "I have tried to be ogjective, I do not claim to be detached. Mahirap maging objective pag walang laman ang tyan.
