I have many books by Libertarians. I heard of this one and just had to add it to my queue.

Hospers was the first ever POTUS candidate for the Libertarian Party nominated in 1972. As of 2017 he is still the only of our nominees to have received an electoral college vote. But this book was going to be different it wasn't about pie-in-the-sky ideologies, nor solutions for communicating, or nuts-and-bolts politics. Nope this is a scholarly work on art.

And boy, I can tell you why folks thought he was gay.

I had hoped for some extensively trip. An LSD laddened libertarian adventure into finding meaning in art. All I got was a bunch of pie-in-the-sky scholarly nose-in-the-air crap about how we know art has value even though it doesn't meet the subjective value test for most folks.

It is a yawn for anyone who dosn't have a PhD in Art. ( )
