Arts and Letters Daily Founder Denis Dutton Dies
The founder of one of the few bastions of uncompromising intelligent discourse on the web has died. Denis Dutton, a professor of philosophy at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand and the founder of the wonderful link site Arts and Letters Daily died in New Zealand recently at the age of 66. Dutton was LA born and the brother of Dutton’s Bookstore founders Doug and Dave.
