The theme this year will be
Art and the Ultimate: Turtles or Telos? What does this title mean? Is there an ultimate grounding of the universe, something upon which everything else is based, a ‘telos’ or end or goal or reason for the existence of all that is? Or does any basis for the universe simply remain shrouded forever in ambiguity, as the ancient Greeks said:
“What does the earth sit on?” “A big turtle.” “What does the turtle sit on?” “Another big turtle.” “What does that turtle sit on?” “It’s turtles all the way down.” |
