"Seems Prof. Pigliucci is more busy than he thought and doesn't have much time to reply to anything, unfortunately."

Quite frankly, the Turner prize awarded four ways looks like a simple publicity stunt to me, and in no way actually addresses the politically polarized world we currently find ourselves in. I might buy it if the works were ideologically incongruous, but it doesn’t sound like they are from the descriptions in the Guardian article. Am I missing something?

I also don’t see the connection to Stoicisim. I can’t think of any aspect of Stoicisim that’s opposed to competition.
