On the book, Are the Arts Essential?<\/a>: \u201cAs Arthurs puts it, in addressing ideas and \u2018challenging our systems\u2019 we have been more easily in awe of the arts than activated by them. To begin with, I am greatly in favor of the \u2018we,\u2019 for this convergence of intelligent minds and pens speaks for all of us, wherever we are meeting it,\u201d explains The Brooklyn Rail contributor Mary Ann Caws. \u201cI shall borrow the words of Catharine R. Stimpson about our need for \u2018cultural interpreters who can tell the story of this brilliant pluralism\u2019 and affirm that we have exactly those here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diniscia, Deputy Director for Research and Strategic Initiatives at NYU\u2019s John Brademas Center, \u201cwe see the importance of that question\u2014indeed, of each issue raised\u2014such as that brought before us by the significant thinker K. Anthony Appiah, reminding us by way of Duchamp that what signals a piece as a work of art is its demand for \u2018a certain sort of attention.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n
