The Ideal of the Arts and Humanities: Music, Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Dance, Literature, and Philosophy
The professions that exist within the arts and humanities typically have a twofold dimension:
- A dimension of appreciation and cultivation;
- A dimension of performance.
The first dimension is much more questionable as an area of professional knowledge, and its contribution to the quality of life is a likely domain for debate. The second dimension is much more objective and demonstrable.
