THE BELIEVING BRAIN:
From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and
Conspiracies---    How we construct
beliefs and reinforce them as truths.
Michael Shermer, PhD

Contributing writer Milt Masur reviews :

Reader comments from previous Milt Masur reviews:
"'Critical Mess' was a pleasant read. It points up what I
have long held as truth, that oftentimes contemporary art
sells because of someone's marketing genius and not
because of critical understanding of comparative values."
J. Long, San Diego, California.

"This is in regards to 'Critical Mess.' What's wrong with
just going to an art museum and enjoying art because you
like its appearance? It is absurd to think that art must first
be wrapped in layers of criticism before it becomes
'approved' for someone to view." H. Stankowitz, Waltham,
Massachusetts.

"Having lived 'down under' all my life I had an opportunity
some time back to attend a lecture by Denis Dutton . That
presentation was just as interesting and a spur for greater
research into artistic understanding as his later book.
Shame he is no longer with us. Quite a loss." M. Wilson,
NSW, Australia
