></span>The Artist-Philosopher and New Philosophy</i></a><i>,</i>
Smith argues that Western Metaphysics has indeed come to what
Heidegger describes as "an end." That is hardly to say philosophy
as such is over or soon to disappear; rather, its purpose as a medium
of cultural change and as a generator of history has run its course.
He thus calls for a New Philosophy, conceptualized by the
artist-philosopher who "makes" or "poeticizes" New Philosophy,
spanning literary and theoretical discourses and operating across art
in all its forms and across culture in all its locations. To this end,
Smith proposes the establishment of schools and social networks that
advance the training and development of artist-philosophers, as well
as global digital networks that are themselves designed toward this
"ever-becoming community."<br>
