I would say that I am taking the viewpoint of a scientist and you that of an artist, but I think that's a very oversimplified evaluation.

A very elegant phrase which instantly wins me over, although "artist and amatuer philosopher" would be even more flattering [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
With my amateur philosophy hat on, I will continue to challenge 'universal' laws or axioms, and the "new evangelism" of science (don't start me on evolution or quantum mechanics) ...
With my artist hat on (paint-flecked beret, no doubt) I will continue to assert the essential humanity of the creative act ...
With my 'personal resonances' hat on (hmm ... ), I will continue to be an unreconstructed romantic idealist - it's those soaring strings, that sunset-framed pathos, the hackneyed melodrama, and any number of heroic narratives of redemption for me [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Other than that, anyone for Tolkien?
