It's important to think about these things in new ways. This is why iconoclasm has a place in intelligent discourse. To offer a radically iconoclastic view in order that those who have never considered the notions that the classics can be stifling and that they are overvalued and that they may oppress us as much or even more than they uplift us may inspire some to look at things aesthetic in a new way. This would be one useful aspect of the radically iconoclastic position I am taking here.
The actual reason I am taking it is that I do think what becomes known as "great art" is oppressive more than it is inspirational...because this is how it operates in human history.
