| Jim Barlow,
I like looking at culture as a cartesian coordinate system (x,y). In the left side of the x, is art, in the right side of the x, is science. In the top part of the y, is philosophy. In the bottom part of the y, is religion/myth/spirituality. So something can be philosophic and scientific, philosophic and artistic, artistic and religious/spiritual/mythological, or scientific and religious/spiritual/mythological, but it cannot be artistic and scientific, nor philosophical and religious/spiritual/mythological. Still, art and science are on the same line, x, and thus have the same origin and purpose. Just as philosophy with religion/spirituality/myth, but the methods are completelly different among these, and among art and science. |
