RE THE STONE EDITORIAL BEYOND UNDERSTANDING ANDY MARTIN AUTISM WITTGENSTEIN AND US

It is of interest that Martin has moved to another fringe issue for the subject of philosophy.

He previously delved into the question of beauty versus ugliness as perhaps having to do with the philosophical turn of mind.

Now it is autism. This may be a more fruitful avenue of inquiry, for Martin's decadent approach to the subject.

It may also provide some fodder for a few cartoons at some point.

My professor at King's, Peter Winch, had translated Culture And Value into English, and it was published, back in the late 70s.

A propos Martin's previous editorial on Ugly Philosophers, he had some remarks on 'beauty' there. How's this:

"The face is the soul of the body."

That really plays to Martin's strong suit.

Does he resemble, a little, the late Andy Warhol,

or is it my autistic imagination?
