Cultural Writing. Art. OF COLOUR IN CRAFT is published alongside an
exhibition of the same name held at the National Craft Gallery,
Kilkenny, Ireland in 2002, illustrating how emotive, subjective and
personal our understanding of colour really is.
John Anderson was Australia's most important philosopher in the
first half of this century. The young Scotsman held the chair of
philosophy at the University of Sydney for thirty years until
retirement in 1958. He developed his own distinctive system of
realism and fathered a vigorous local school characterised by
inquiry, independence and a deep commitment to philosophy as a way
of life. He was a formidable public figure and fierce
controversialist who outraged many of Sydney's conventionally
minded. From an early Marxist phase, he opposed all forms of
censorship and mind control. This first biography of Anderson is no
hagiography, containing much new material about Anderson's Scottish
past and his conflicted public and private life. His relations with
students were complex; with women, they were decidedly problematic.
In the aftermath of a pragmatic revolution that has swept our
universities and colleges, Anderson;s uncompromising calls to
unfettered inquiry, and the Socratic way of life are timely.
