y the high?
y is it that a divine melody is as divine as to make u cry?
y is it that some painter's picture on a wall makes u feel like uv been there before --haunt u--make u wriggle and long for something that was urs and was lost long time ago?
y in general does art sublimate?
what is sublimation? its what takes u higher..
iv learnt thru experience that sublimation or happiness is a ur reaction to conformity with the TRUTH.
Aristotle described existence (this existence) as a copy of the original. In truth only ideas exist, and all things that exists are copies or manifestations of the original ideas. The idea can take many forms and hence the variations.----this to an extent can be happily agreed with.
All art is reproduction of nature. wev been told that and i dont hav any problem with accepting that.
And even aristotle had that in mind when he said: art is a copy of a copy.....so a copy takes u away from the original, and a copy of the copy is stll more false...so art is twice away from truth.
And this quite contradicts my feeling that art should be nearer to truth because it makes u happy , it inspirits u.(because anything that makes u happy is a conformation to truth)
And i find a clue, some solace in (wordsworths?) words: art is a lie that takes u to the truth.
so somebody else also feels art takes u to the truth.
the only explanation is,,do not view this interms of photocopies.
Nature is not a photocopy of the truth.
Niether is art a photocopy of nature.
See it in terms of a function.
God wrote a program(a funtion) for existence and that is TRUTH.
And once it is now running , the function runs on some deviation.
The times when occasionally the deviated function looses its anamoly and runs in conformity with the original function, happiness is generated.
Art and its experience is one such occasion.
And im not sure if negation was found out in the times of aristotle,,
but that is the case with art. So aristotle should hav better said ,,existence is a function of the idea,,,and art is the negating function.
there i see no contradiction, no doubt, clarity.
IF T is truth,
f a function,
f(T)=existence.
art is finverse
finverse(existence)=T.
so art is applying a negating function to this illusion called nature , and taking u back to truth.
and when ur near to truth, u experience bliss.
and thats it.
One thing that remains established here is that: ALL HAPPINESS IS CONFORMITY TO TRUTH.
but the question remains .....y?

point 1 - why are we to assume that Aristole is the foremost authority on Art, I cant believe that you would take somebody's statement and base your argument on that.
Lets assume that he knows what he said and you've missed the point that Art MAY NOT NECESSARILY be an imitation of Life, It is in many ways what life and could be,
well,,,,i dont understand y all the readers can see nothing but aristotle in there,,,,i was just quoting something that i believe to be right,i dont care if its aristotle or anybody else,,,that is "ALL ART IS IMITATION",,and DOG, do u think that contradicts ur views like"common knowledge" and the more witty"useless",,i can see they fit in pretty well. i was just dabbling in the metaphysical aspect of art and its effects....i believ art is a negation of illusion and going towards truth ehilarates us!
and dog wont u pls tell me bout joshu and mu?
I would argue that the illusion is the world, the *map* created by humanity and a return to nature is what's required, a return to the *territory* we are from and to which we go back. :)
