To continue from my last post:

Bias against Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida as well as Freud and psychoanalytical approaches(see The Assault on Truth by Masson, and The Critics Bear It Away by Frederick Crews)
While the evolutionary biology and neuroscience approach to creativity and aesthetics has enriched my understanding of how the brain works( see Steven Pinker's How the Mind Works,Dawkins The Blind Watchmaker)as an artist, both approaches leave me uneasy. What that unease is about  remains unclear. AI seems to me helpful but  to miss essential features of  creativity.Searle's The Rediscovery of the Mind leaves me unconvinced. Marxism and the Frankfurt School for me remain opaque,and too often driven by a true believer mentality. Making Monsters by Richard Ofshe and Ethan Watters has thrown the entire field of psychotherapy and its relevance to these issues into discredit.

Again, while I have drifted away from my starting point, part of my approach has been to address the use of various kind s of data as evidence and to stake out where in  the intellectual environment I stand by identifying what approaches  don't for me make sense.
