Sempre ótimo ouvi-la e ler suas obras Professora. Abraço do Rio Grande do Sul/Imed-PF. It's always great to hear her and read her professor works. A hug from Rio Grande do Sul, Imed/PF.

Professor Nussbaum is certainly a unique and iconoclastic scholar who defies being categorized. She properly has criticized rigid Marxists such as Noam Chomsky, but also has derided intelligent and thoughtful conservatives such as Allan Bloom. But she does a disservice to the wonderful commentaries provided in connection with the Concertgebouw's 2020 Mahler Festival by implying that the worldview of Gustav Mahler, certainly a classical liberal for his time, reinforces and validates her critique of contemporary American conservatism and President Trump. It simply is not possible to know what the great liberals of Mahler's era, such as Emile Zola, would think of what passes for liberalism today.

It highlights the central weakness of groupthink old neo-liberals like Nussbaum: their self-belief of invincible moral superiority. How could they be "wrong"...about anything? Yet under the broad Liberal aegis of the last 50 years the USA for most of its citizens has steadily gone backwards in most key areas. Music education certainly does not need to be gratuitously politicised. Indeed it can be argued by thinkers like Roger Scruton that it is precisely the influence her ilk pearl necklaces not withstanding, that has actually done the most cultural damage to classical music, not the punks, grunge or rappers.

Please bring back the Mahler Festival Documentaries! They are a fantastic and beautiful visual representation of Mahler's life. They inspired me so much, please make them available again 😊

There needs be a hastening of the flow of academic wisdom. It seems to me to take to long for wisdom to take the journey from academia in to the common language and life code thinking (principled behaviours) of most people. How I wish Martha you would write for children?
