Science & Art - Marxism, Materialism and Art
Idealist and Materialist Philosophies of Art
Science and art are often counterposed as completely separate human endeavours. Certainly, science is not art. But science is also not sex or love or tiddlywinks. What those phenomena and art all have in common is that the
y are subjects of human conscious experience. But scientific analysis can be focused on any of them without claiming to reduce them to sets of scientific laws. Any serious study of art shows that, while art can have its own dynamic, it is clearly rooted in a wider historical context and that even the most refined and abstract art has an impact of some kind on the world around it.
