From a Feb. 26 Aeon essay, "Folklore is Philosophy," by
Abigail Tulenko, "a PhD student in philosophy at Harvard University,
and a research assistant for the Anansi Story Project at Harvard’s
Culture, Cognition, and Coevolution Lab" —
"In his wry poem ‘The Conundrum of the Workshops’ (1890),
Rudyard Kipling describes Adam’s first sketch scratched
in the dirt of Eden with a stick:
… [It] was joy to his mighty heart,
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves:
‘It’s pretty, but is it Art?’
And so we may ask: folklore may be inclusive, but is it philosophy?"
