Is it reasonable to say:
Furthermore, can we then call Spirituality (i.e. all theology, metaphysics, and most philosophy) an attempt to bridge previous concepts? Or to put it another way: a way of bridging the internal and the external worlds?
Notes: Science is not really structured to concern itself with human beings, when attempts are made to perceive science through the lens of humanity (ex. anthromorphic principle) they seem to fall into the realm of the bridging concept: spirituality. While I don't think art really seems to really be concerned with the notion of reality in itself.
For example: when landscapes are painted tthe point isn't an accurate painting of a landscape its a discussion of how we as human beings perceive the landscape, or relate to the landscape, or feel about the landscape.
Any comments?
- Science is fundamentally an attempt to understand reality
- Art is an attempt to explore the human condition
