Journeys in Poetry, Painting and Philosophy
A SOTERIOLOGY is a system of salvation: like going to heaven, achieving enlightenment, and so on. I shall set aside the notion of human destiny which is central to it. But I shall retain two other notions which are part of its meaning. First, there is the view that it is possible and desirable to move from an unsatisfactory state of consciousness to a more satisfactory one. Second, is the view that this aspect of human affairs can be designated '…
Philosophy: A View from the Canepiece
REX NETTLEFORD often reminded us that, generationally speaking, most West Indians are still close to the canepiece. As someone with biological links to the enslavers, enslaved and indentured labourers who met on the canepiece, I regard this central image from Caribbean history as an appropriate vantage point from which to view philosophy, the discipline to which I have devoted a significant part of my career. Of course, the philosophical beliefs …
Don Drummond and the Philosphy of Music
IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT music is the most difficult art form to write about. Doing so, someone said, is like trying to dance to architecture. This has never stopped critics, poets, philosophers and others from trying to put into words what many regard as ineffable.

C.L.R. James on Cricket as Art
By his own admission, C.L.R. James has made great claims for (James 1963, p. 191). He goes on to claim, further, that cricket is an art form. More specifically, he defends the following theses: (1) that cricket is a dramatic art akin to the theatre, dance and opera; (2) that cricket is a visual art; and (3) that the philosophical quest for a definition of art would be aided if it included sports and games. In this essay I wish to examine James's …
