FROM THE EDITORS

• Our August issue, forthcoming, features Louis Torres's response to philosopher Denis Dutton, founder and editor of Arts & Letters Daily. Torres argued in a review (see link below) that the author of The Art Instinct does not know what art is--to which Dutton retorted (on his book's website) "Oh, yeah?"
