1) Apolline: the appoline is associated with dreams, while the dionysiac is associated with intoxication. The apolline is characterized by the greek god of light and reason, Apollo and is a life and form-giving force. However, only through measured restraint and detachment the apollian acquires a strong sense of self. On the other hand the dionysiac is self forgetting; the self becomes one with others and nature. The apolline is associated with dreams and the art of image making b.c. it generates the form and structure which is necessary to create a coherent work of art. Nietsche describes the appoline as being free from “wilder impulses†but instead possesses a “wise calmâ€. In contrast the dionysiac is associated with intoxication and music b/c/ it generates the vitality and passion of the work of art.
Dionysiac:
2) Art and music are rooted in the metaphysical symbioses of Dionysiac and Apolline. The Appoline represents structure, rationality, common sence and reason. Dionysiac emphasizes loss of one self and unity of men kind. Its purpose is to tear away the veil Maya, or illusion. Nietsche calls this illusion the Appoline. Dionysiac also emphasizes intoxication and last for life. Therefore, the experience of Dionysiac is the opposite of Apolline. In conclusion, the experience of Dionysiac tears away Aoilline’s illusion.
Censorship:
1: Self-regarding versus “other regarding…. The first is something that is only idividual based, victimless crimes, where you can do whatever you want to youself.. and the latter being that you doing crimes against someone else. Regarding others. The concepts of morality would relate to the self-regarding act and the law would regard to others-regarding people. Since what effects innocent people than the law comes into it.
And just as self-regarding is part of privacy and public is part of other-regarding acts.
2) Mill believed against censorship, he felt they were attaching the self-regarding acts, and since they were victimless crimes… and since he thought the state should though regulate those serious crimes that are other regarding acts..
3.)Mill finds that humans can choose what is best for them, and he believed that everyone is an individual and each one unto himself, we complete ourselves.
4. Lord devlin thinks that there isn’t a distinction between self regarding and other regarding acts. He doesn’t see that line between those two things, of course there is a different but definitely not such a fine line, he would say that there are no self-regarding acts.. Devlin finds that shared morality holds society together.
Tolstoy
1.) art is a means of communion among people expressing feeling to others and giving others those feelings, Tolstoy considers speech just as important as art, they both pervade our entire life as we convey our thoughts and experiences through speech and life. ( feelings in the highest sense such as in religious respects.)
2.) the broader function of art, is that it’s a means of communicating among all other people , no matter what language you speak.
3.) He thinks that art as something forbidden would be better than admitting it all since it is highly dangerous to effecting people against their will, and then there are those who fully embrace all of art with all of its ecstasy’s and all.( the art gives pleasure and thus art becomes patronized) but he definitely rejects both of the extremes. But if he had to choose one he would choose that it would be forbidden.
Clive Bell
1) significant form is the quality distinguishing artworks from other things. Which the placement and relationship of lines and colors on the canvas exhibits significant form. As if everything that is put in the right order gives us an aesthetic order since it is placed in such a way that is aesthetically pleasing in a sense to evoke emotion.
Aesthetic emotion: Whereas an abstract art is art, provokes a particular kind of feeling in the viewer –an aesthetic emotion—certain forms and relations of forms, stir our (aesthetic) emotions.
2)Tolstoy’s version of emotion that he is seeking: speaking about evoking emotions to others, from our emotions and then give the others the same kind of emotion. Its this rel
And bells aesthetic emotion : emotion that produces the works and the works giving the viewer, who is capable of aesthetic emotion, emotion. Its almost this religious and spiritual emotion. Being emotionally moved by something….
3) descriptive painting is a type of painting that is more not something that is meant to move the viewer or even evoke emotion, but merely to convey information or even suggest emotion. They can be historical value, topographical works, pictures that tells stories and the like.. but a significant form is done in such a way that it is laid out and designed to bring about an aesthetic emotion.
John Dewey
1) problems Dewey sees with the modern coneption of the “fine arts†is that today many people find to be art are actually not taken to be arts: for instance, the movie , jazzed music, the comic strip, and the newspaper accounts etc. since the daily impulse towards things that are enjoyable are so integrated into our daily lives that the art in the museums go unappreciated, and since he sees that there is a separation of art from the objects of ordinary experience.
2) Aesthetic experience in the raw means those common everyday pleasurable experiences that man kind actively partakes in. Arts relates to these things because it is prefigured in the very process of living. Dewey says “we must be aware of art and its relation to other common human experiences. So, art is united to experience in that involves the process of doing or making directed to an end product, that them be called a work of art.
3) Industry and technology have separated art from everyday human experience. Art is no longer ingrained in the process of living. Artists seek to make their work as distinct and eccentric as possible to differentiates their arts from an industrialized society. Some art is no longer driven by a sense of common aesthetic experiences by need for individuality.
George Dickie
1) two is the artifact that has been designated for a candidate for appreciation as art, by an artist or a member of the art-world.
2) He considers himself as an artist, gallery owners, artists, art critics, aesthetic professors, art or gallery goers, producers or audience. The institution is meaning to be an established cultural practice it isn’t an officially registered organization.
3) Its because someone has actually called it art. Same object one of them is art and one of them isn’t… in dickies theory the artist then declares the object as art and puts it on display. And its conferred on it as a candidate for appreciation as art.. its functioning as a work of art.. as opposed to a urinal set up by a plumber , its function is not a piece of art.
Trevor Hart
1)Throughout history, the arts have been viewed as powerful shaping force in human life, much like the fire Prometheus stole from the gods. It has been held suspicion because it aspires to the very creativity of god himself.
2)
3: the stolen or not stolen from the gods, there is this animosity between the gods and humans. This is prometheus’ myth. And then the incarnation is the way that the gods and the humans interact. The greek idea of the logos, is a logical principle out there structuring reality, and an abstract reality. Whereas the word logos is God taking on human form, the relational and dialogical ( dialogue with God and responding to God’s activity in the world) dealing with a speaking God.
4.) Hart doesn’t think its irreconcilable. The accountability does not restrict the freedom and creativity. There is a creating of a space that is bounded but in that place there is room for freedom , and it is meaningful more b.c. of its boundaries.
