[@nilanjanaghosh3432]

You are such a great human being ma'am ...don't know why I always find your lectures and thoughts as beautiful, concrete and comprehensive as poetry...really great.

"Take, as an image of the good life, a jazz group. A jazz group which is improvising obviously differs from a symphony orchestra, since to a large extent each member is free to express herself as she likes. But she does so with a receptive sensitivity to the self-expressive performances of the other musicians. The complex harmony they fashion comes not from playing from a collective score, but from the free musical expression of each member acting as the basis for the free expression of the others. As each player grows more musically eloquent, the others draw inspiration from this and are spurred to greater heights. There is no conflict here between freedom and the ‘good of the whole’, yet the image is the reverse of totalitarian. Though each performer contributes to ‘the greater good of the whole’, she does so not by some grim-lipped self-sacrifice but simply by expressing herself. There is self-realization, but only through a loss of self in the music as a whole. There is achievement, but it is not a question of self-aggrandizing success. Instead, the achievement - the music itself - acts as a medium of relationship among the performers. There is pleasure to be reaped from this artistry, and - since there is a free fulfillment or realization of powers- there is also happiness in the sense of flourishing" Terry Eagleton.

Many classical composers were great improvisers.I think I will stick to Bach, Mozart,Beethoven,etc.Jazz leaves me inspired and indifferent

[@harryfineberg5075]

Should be unmoved quite opposite to inspired

Politics requires reason not emotion, especially from a person of privileged background.

Miss Nussbaum mentions 'fear of other racial groups' in the course of her speech as one of the topics. Someone of you presumed knowledge Miss Nussbaum, should know there is only one human race and manny other ethnicities.

[@georgessand2408]

actually, there is one human *species* , saying that there is one human race doesn't make sense as races (plural) can only exist within a species to distinguish between groups that share the same morphological characteristics although they pertain to same species (defined by their ability to reproduce and create fertile individuals). That being said, humans have arbitrarily chosen the criteria of skin colour to identify racial groups, and although it is scientifically irelevant, it is sociologically undeniable that race exists as a social construct. Therefore, when talking about issues of racism and discrimination, there is nothing wrong in using terms like "racial groups" because that is how they are perceived, and refusing to acknowledge that prevents us from concretely adressing the issue.

@@georgessand2408 Nah wrong, very wrong. Remember those Nazi humans from the 2WW? You know the ones who mass slaughtered what, about 30 millions people? Remember how they 'arbitrarily' have chosen the concept of 'races' as the core platform of their ideology so to define themselves and the others who were not like them? Yes it's a social construct with an extremely vicious lading, a construct whos inception is of most brutal and INHUMAN lineage. Lets not mention the history of slavery as well. Using 'races' as a concept to describe human differences in whichever way (especially full knowingly there in ONLY one race) that is an afront to all people who suffered were and are still being murdered under the banner of that perception.

i am not a fan of nussbaum as she dies not have a clear epistemology she is vusceral in the tradition of ockham and hume i do however have to cite my disapproval of the critic christopher becayse he like Aristotle does not believe in due diligence as us also the case with nussbaum but i will defend her aginst this sophomoric analyst yes she talks too much about Tagore because she is ignorant about Real i dian philosophy tagore is visceral and nussbaum can claim that tagore was i fluened by the west thus keepi the myth alive that india did nothing she is too aristotelian to know that lthe conceots of sunya and purna over a thiusand yesrs led to mathematics and ontologically to the monism that was not seen in the west after Parmenides she if course loves Mill too a philosopher whisedepthis 2 millimeters and a guy who supported the Britsh massacres she could have nentioned Marx or kapila but Dr Nussbaum is happy in her cocoon where practicality is divirced from actuality

[@13e11even11]

Arun Jetli I agree with you as there not being a clear theory of knowledge, but I believe that she like many intellectually get pulled into issues proximate to their own. I see value in her applications of her studies of western classics to the commonplace, but I myself am not student enough to know of her breadth of this topic.

What a bunch of nonsense
