Response to Katherine

Do people benefit from reading art reviews from critics who may have different tastes than themselves?

Yes, I believe people do benefit from reaedin these art reviews. The way Hume seemed to describe characsteristics of critics sounded more like process than anything. A critic is someone who intinctually feels something but is able to observe, strip it down, look at from different points of view-subjectively and objectively, etc. This takes practice. If a person wants to be able to do this, they must be sensitive to understanding different tastes, whether or not they find them agreeable.
