“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #1
My name is Lydia Duvall and I am a senior biology major and a Spanish minor. I will be graduating this May (woo hoo!) and to fulfill my core requirements this semester I had to take two philosophy courses. I chose this course because it was the one that best fit my schedule. I've never been that interested in art and aesthetics but I am excited to learn about something that I haven't really had much exposure to. As for the film shown in class, I can honestly say that it did not really strike me in a significant way. As the director said in his interview, to some people this film will be an amazing piece of art and some people just will not be able to relate.
