I'm
glad to include here, articles I've written showing the great value of
Aesthetic
Realism in explaining matters that concern people every-

I write about on this website was founded by American poet, critic,
and philosopher
Eli Siegel.

"In the periodical
The
Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known, Eli Siegel writes: '[T]he
thing most needed by man to have a like of himself or respect for himself
that is valid, is the feeling that the world is seen by him in a fair way,
an accurate way, and one that goes towards as much as possible, liking
the world.' "
