Aesthetic thought of a distinctively modem bent 1 during the 18th century. The western philosophers and critics of this time devoted much attention to such matters as natural beauty, the sublime, and representation—a trend reflecting the central position they had given to the philosophy of nature. Since that time, however, the philosophy of art has become ever more 2 and has begun to supplant the philosophy of nature. Various issues 3 to the philosophy of art have had a marked impact on the orientation of 20th-century aesthetics. 4 among these are problems relating to the theory of art as form and to the 5 between representation and expression. Still another far-reaching question has to do with the value of art. Two opposing 6 positions have been taken on this issue: one holds that art and its appreciation are a means to some recognized moral good, whereas the other 7 that art is intrinsically valuable and is an end in itself. Underlying this whole issue is the concept of taste, one of the basic concerns of aesthetics. In recent years there has also been an increasing 8 with art as the prime object of critical judgment. Corresponding to the trend in contemporary aesthetic thought, 9 have followed either of two approaches. In one, criticism is restricted to the analysis and interpretation of the work of art. In the other, it is devoted to articulating the response to the aesthetic object and to 10 a particular way of perceiving it.

Scientists say they have found rare evidence of a prehistoric massacre in Europe after discovering a 7,000-year-old mass grave with skeletal remains from some of the continent"s first farmers bearing terrible wounds.

"It was either torture or mutilation. We can"t say for sure whether the victims were still alive," said Christian Meyer, one of the authors of the study 23 Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Meyer said the findings from Schoeneck-Kilianstaedten 24 theories put forward after the earlier discovery of two other grave sites in Germany and Austria. At all three sites, the victims and the perpetrators 25 to have been from the Linearbandkeramik—or LBK—culture, a farming people who arrived in central Europe about 5,500 B.C.

Aesthetic thought of a distinctively modem bent 1 during the 18th century. The western philosophers and critics of this time devoted much attention to such matters as natural beauty, the sublime, and representation—a trend reflecting the central position they had given to the philosophy of nature. Since that time, however, the philosophy of art has become ever more 2 and has begun to supplant the philosophy of nature. Various issues 3 to the philosophy of art have had a marked impact on the orientation of 20th-century aesthetics. 4 among these are problems relating to the theory of art as form and to the 5 between representation and expression. Still another far-reaching question has to do with the value of art. Two opposing 6 positions have been taken on this issue: one holds that art and its appreciation are a means to some recognized moral good, whereas the other 7 that art is intrinsically valuable and is an end in itself. Underlying this whole issue is the concept of taste, one of the basic concerns of aesthetics. In recent years there has also been an increasing 8 with art as the prime object of critical judgment. Corresponding to the trend in contemporary aesthetic thought, 9 have followed either of two approaches. In one, criticism is restricted to the analysis and interpretation of the work of art. In the other, it is devoted to articulating the response to the aesthetic object and to 10 a particular way of perceiving it.

Scientists say they have found rare evidence of a prehistoric massacre in Europe after discovering a 7,000-year-old mass grave with skeletal remains from some of the continent"s first farmers bearing terrible wounds.
Archaeologists who painstakingly examined the bones of some 26 men, women and children 21 in the Stone Age grave site at Schoeneck-Kilianstaedten say they found blunt force marks to the head, arrow wounds and deliberate efforts to smash at least half of the victims" shins—either to stop them from running away or as a 22 message to survivors.
"It was either torture or mutilation. We can"t say for sure whether the victims were still alive," said Christian Meyer, one of the authors of the study 23 Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Meyer said the findings from Schoeneck-Kilianstaedten 24 theories put forward after the earlier discovery of two other grave sites in Germany and Austria. At all three sites, the victims and the perpetrators 25 to have been from the Linearbandkeramik—or LBK—culture, a farming people who arrived in central Europe about 5,500 B.C.

"It"s about finding patterns. One mass grave was spectacular, but it was just a single grave. But when several such sites are found from the same period, then a pattern 29 ," said Meyer.
In their article, the authors suggested that "the new evidence in 30 with previous results, indicates that massacres of entire communities were not isolated occurrences but rather were frequent features of the last phases of the LBK."
