A continuation of my conversation with Luke12000 concerning the nature of art. In this part, I address Luke's position that it is okay to categorize art, but not to evaluate it. I explain - as well as can be done by me "on the fly" while driving - the three general theories of "the good": intrinsicist, subjectivist, and objectivist. Luke's view, I suggest, is subjectivist.
