I agree: cool.

I wonder how the dynamics would adjust if we viewed the courtroom as a place for not only adversarial and sanctioning (or not) but as much as a frame for adjudication and mediation?

Such a frame, perhaps, could be a path from the courtroom to the courtyard.

Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man, was fond of saying that all art takes place in a frame, a context. 

Art. I'm curious about the role and function of the arts in TOK. It's clear that the arts gravitate within the humanities side of the humanities/science categorization in TOK. And that aesthetics, via Schiller, is a focal point for Bildung, as a guest post on Gregg's  Psychology Today blog a month ago makes clear.

If participants here could point me to some articles or papers that integrate the arts (especially music) and aesthetic theory and aesthetic philosophy with TOK, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Greg

PS: In jazz and the hero's journey archetype, there's a principle called "antagonistic cooperation." Such an idea integrates and enacts a rapprochement between the courtroom-courtyard distinction. That's a small example of the possible utility of an aesthetic and mythos frame to, as the cultural philosopher Albert Murray would say, "extend, elaborate, and refine" the metaphorical modeling in the middle two Justification frames, whether left-right or right-left.

Gregg,

This is very cool.

How far toward the left in the continuum does “real good” extend?

Did you consider reversing the continuum diagram so that it proceeds left to right (as Westerners read) from true to false?

If you added a “good dimension” (e.g. vertically) would these contexts separate along the good dimension? (Good for whom?)

 

Thanks,

Hi TOK List,

 

  I put this blog up today on the contexts of justification. It was co-authored with John Vervaeke and Guy Sengstock:

 

From the Con Game to the Research Lab: Four Contexts of Justification on a Continuum.

 

Thanks to Guy and John for the excellent conversation that was the spark of inspiration!

Best,
Gregg
