| Popis: | Most creative intellectual activity is directed toward abstracting some universal aspect ("truth") from human experience. This is true whether the intellectual activity is in the domain of "arts," "literature," or "science." A liberal arts education brings an appreciation for the universality of intellectual activity and the realization that what we do in "science" differs not so greatly from our colleagues' endeavors in the humanities. We are both in pursuit of the same thing-"universal truth," although the form of that "truth" differs. Great art abstracts as an image "truth" in human experience or the world around us. Great literature abstracts "truth" in human experience into a narrative of human activity. Great poetry minimizes that narrative to artful language. Great music abstracts "truth" in human activity in many ways, e.g., psychological drama in the case of opera (Verdi, Othello; Schoenberg, Erwartung; Bartok, Bluebeard's Castle) or, in the case of abstract music, evokes the human experience through "association," much as abstract art. |
