On the other hand, I think that there is something special about art in this regard, because the very purpose of art is to concretize abstractions. That's the whole point about art. The purpose of engineering is to create material technologies that benefit us materially, using the abstractions of physics, chemistry, biology, etc. along the way.
Art is unique in that it serves no material purpose in the way that engineering or business does.
All these can be said to in some way concretize abstractions, but only art has as its sole purpose the creation of concretes that objectify abstractions. That perceptual grasp is given to us by art. I think this leads her to believe that heroic art is the best art, since only art that has heroes at its center shows man at his highest potential. Yet a well-rendered landscape gives me a great deal of pleasure because it concords with my belief that the world is orderly, that things are in their places metaphysically speaking, etc. Let me raise an issue that is perhaps related to the foregoing.
