Timestamps:
- 00:45: The capacity of our brains to receive knowledge. Fancy way of saying "thinking." Is Art a kind of thinking, is it the same thing as our "normal" thinking?
- 02:00: Art makes you think. It is thought. A cognitive theory of Art vs the spiritual perspective of Art.
- 03:10: If Art is just biological, is it still beautiful? Interpretation is key. When we look at "Art" it is beautiful to us and becomes special by holding beauty.
- 04:25: Does life lose something special when we think of ourselves as purely biological?
- 05:35: Don't think of it as "I'm thinking about it." Just think instead of putting titles or labels on the experience. Just look at it. Wittgenstein's notion of "Seeing as"
- 07:40: Philosophers of Art. Art is a break from the thinking. It's not about fitting it into a category. Instead, we just experience it immediately, we submerge ourselves in the experience.
- 08:50: Beauty in just being. Just existing is beautiful. Doesn't require extra steps to be deemed beautiful.
- 10:00: Something and nothing both matter. The Ugly Tree vs the Beautiful. The ugly tree is useless and beautiful at the same time.
