- Summary:
- Conservatives complain that much contemporary art is obscene, while liberals reply that art always subverts the social and political orthodoxy. Both are wrong, says Frederick Turner. In this first book to take the "third side" in the culture war, Frederick Turner offers a radically hopeful new vision, based on a cosmology which views nature as intelligent, creative, and self-ordering.
