Excerpt from The Creative Will: Studies in the Philosophy and the Syntax of Æsthetics
Art and the Human Body. - The symbol (in the sense of philosophic analogy) of æsthetic truth, like the symbol of all knowledge, is the human body. The deeper facts of art and the deeper facts of life (the two being synonymous) can be tested by the forces, construction, poise, plasticity, needs, laws, reactions, harmonies, growth, forms and mechanism of the body. The body is the microcosmos of all life; and art, in all of its manifestations, is, in its final analysis, an interpretation of the laws of bodily rhythm and movement. The perception of art is an activity of our own consciousness. Art cannot exist as an isolated absolute: in order to be perceived it must be relative to ourselves. Our bodies are our only basis of reaction. Therefore art must accord with that basis. Furthermore, the sources and the end of nature are in the body. Only the aspects of nature are without. Nature is not discovered by way of the aspect to the symbol, but by way of the symbol to the aspect. Representation in art reveals only the aspect of life. The truth must emanate from, and be verified by, the body.

Excerpt from The Creative Will: Studies in the Philosophy and the Syntax of Æsthetics
Natural and zesthetio stimuli. - Art, which is merely an external stimulus, can be com municated to the brain only through the senses. It differs from other stimuli only in degree of perfection - that is, it has been arranged in such a manner that it produces a complete and satis fying reaction. But the inward activity of art, through the sense media, follows the same physi cal laws as does a natural stimulus. Only in the completeness of the impression does it distinguish itself from other stimuli. Once this fact is real ised, the determining of msthetic reactions will cease to be looked upon as an impossibility.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the essence of art, exploring its profound connection to the human experience. The author argues that art is not merely an imitation of life but a reflection of the fundamental laws governing our existence. By examining the elements of consciousness ââ â will, intellect, and emotion ââ â and their interplay in artistic expression, the author reveals the inherent balance and unity present in great works of art. Drawing upon diverse examples from painting, music, and literature, the book challenges conventional notions of beauty and ugliness, demonstrating how aesthetic form transcends superficial appearances. It emphasizes the importance of form and organization in evoking emotional responses, arguing that even the most abstract art has its roots in concrete human experiences. Ultimately, this book illuminates the transformative power of art. It shows how great art can permeate every aspect of our being, harmonizing our thoughts and emotions, and offering a unique and profound understanding of the world around us. By recognizing art as a philosophical medium, we can unlock its potential to shape our values and guide our lives.
