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,

‘It’s pretty, but is it Art?’
And so we may ask: folklore may be inclusive, but is it philosophy?"
A related storyboard —
"(CBS News) Two decades after Morley Safer took
a critical look at contemporary art in his 60 Minutes
story 'Yes…But is it Art?' he has found the definitive
answer to his snide question . . . ."
