History & Art Videos U.S. The first thing that comes to mind is to define art, define literature, define philosophy and then ask “Are these definitions opposite or antithetical?” How we define these subjects and how we judge wether or not the definitions are antithetical could lead us to different answers. One might even question what is meant by opposite and or antithetical. I would say it depends how you define these things and or how you experience them. I think in one sense they are opposite, in another sense they are different but not opposite, and another sense they are the same. I imagine a painter who has no interest in anything philosophical or intellectual even and paints in a really emotional/bodily/kinaesthetic way, seeing philosophy as some heady activity and saying well these two things are diametrically opposed! Claiming doing and thinking are opposite or emotion and thought are opposite. I can also see someone who just says well I play music and I think about ethics and they are different things but is the sound my guitar makes the opposite of thinking about wether or not life is worth living? Hmmm I don’t think so. I could see a philosopher reading literature and saying this classic raises some interesting points and I think it’s actually one of the best works of philosophy I’ve ever read! Is it literature? Yes. Is it philosophy? Yes. Some might compare the experience of doing the things, others might compare definitions, some say it’s not philosophy if you just read through passively unless you personally philosophize it’s not philosophy and then somebody else will say no philosophy is philosophy wether you engage with it or not. A literary critic might read a work of philosophy through that lens, a philosopher may try and represent a philosophical problem through a movie or look at painting and philosophize. So these are some thoughts I have on the issue. What do you think about all this? Also pardon my writing I am basically uneducated and suspect my Writing and grammar suck. Thanks!
@@alexandria5758 I do agree with you that you need to first define art/literature and philosophy. You obviously can't even try to speculate that they are opposite if you don't have an accurate understanding of them. I think it's possible that the degree by which an artist has heightened their talent in the field they are working in can determine whether their works can also be deemed as philosophical. People like Homer and Shakespeare created works that are considered works of philosophy and literature. I don't think works by a popular crime novelist could be placed in the same category. I'm guessing that if a poet or other artist can have their works heightened to a high enough level their writing would then possibly overlap into it's possible opposite, which would be philosophy. This is obviously speculation as I don't think there could be any way to prove this.
I looked around and couldn't find a date for when Ion was written. I think I may have heard somewhere that it was one of his earlier dialogues, however I'm not completely sure of that.
Couldn't understand the reading for school so this really helped a lot! Thank you so much :)
Your welcom.
thank you for the explanation, but i hope in your next videos you will pay attention to include some animations. it really helps understanding .
I'm new to making TH-cam videos so I still haven't figured out how to add animations. However, thanks for your comment.
Very useful one but Please add the summary also
thanks for your insight :)
Your're welcome.
Nice
Thank you.
Thanks alot sir!!
You're welcome.
Socrates, what a prick hahaha. Plato's dialogues are always entertaining, surprisingly humorous !
Really helpful, but I am still confused for one question?
What is plato's identity in conversation between socrates and ion?
I'm not sure if I understand your question. Can you explain what you mean by identity between Socrates and Ion?
Plato has no as such identity in the conversation . It's a dialogue between ion and socrates
he actually transmits the dialogue @@YoyoYoyo-kj4bc
Is art and literature the opposite of philosophy?
I think it's possible, however I don't think there is any way to conclusively prove it. Can you provide your opinion on it?
