ABSTRACT

To what extent has this work fulfilled the programme with which I began?

The avoidance of error

I said in the introduction that although the arts and nature offer us experiences of intense value, it is possible, when thinking about those experiences, to go wrong. If that error is confined to the interchanges of theorists, little harm is done. These errors are more pernicious when they affect those who teach the arts. In this work I have tried to show the errors of certain of these theories.
