I don't for a second consider aesthetics to be a boundary discipline. I
don't even think Aristotle should be considered in that way. Aesthetics
always needs to be a reaction to art. Memetics, hopefully, may be the
front door.

Ouch. Then again, the economic as proto-behavior/culture does have a nice
feel to it. I certainly feel there is a great (if not overriding) deal of
the economic in the shaman. Do we need a definition of 'money' before
this discussion moves off the trading floor?
