forum for week of 14 Nov: when we don't want knowledge

As far as all the "art" realated examples go, often the mechanisms of thought still aim at knowledge, even if that knowledge may not be attainable. We may seek to know what a work of art "means", or conjecture about the state of mind of the artist when they created it. Also, there is the knowing of the work itself, for example, a one may know many things about a piece of music surrounding the details of its composition, the instruments used, how it was put together both concretely and theoretically. This is more in line with acquaintance; someone may ask "do you such-and-such song" and one may answer in the affirmative if they are acquaintted with that song.
