TS | On Aesthetics, Theology and Art

By Wassily Kandinsky

Thesis:

The ability to emit Aesthetical Judgements understood as Communion with God and learnable through Art.

Aesthetical Judgements allow the perciever to discriminate elements within Reality on a level other than mere abstraction.

Aesthetics have traditionally been reduced to taste. Understood, through taste.

I say everything is touch.

On an outmost elemental Physical Sphere, everything is touch.

Which is another Aesthetical Judgement.

I dare to state this ability is born within communion with God. A relationship.

If this intimidates you too much, just think of what Plato, who believed in intuition as a way to access Knowledge, would have called Beauty, oder Good.

Now only one aspect is open.

Open wide, in fact; How do you teach this?

Through speech, through acts, through expressing our souls, the true Beauty within the heart of each of us…

Which I define, as Art.
