Autor: Lonergan, Bernard J.F. Buch: Topics in Education Titel: Topics in Education Stichwort: Kunst: Gefühl, Einsicht als konkrete Einsicht, Urteil als freie Wahl, verantwortliche Tätigkeit Kurzinhalt: Art mirrors that organic functioning of sense and feeling, of intellect not as abstract formulation but as concrete insight, of judgment that is not just judgment ... Textausschnitt: 4/9 One can put this point in a different manner and by putting it in a different manner see how the problems of apprehending the concrete can be turned to some extent by thinking about art and history. Any type of differentiated intellectual consciousness, such as mathematics, science, and philosophy, can express more or less adequately precisely what it is. But any such type of differentiated consciousness is simply a withdrawal for a return. Just as development occurs now in one direction, now in another, and then in a third, and it is only at the end of the whole spiraling process that one has the finished product, so differentiated consciousness is, as it were, a stage in the development. It is a withdrawal from total activity, total actuation, for the sake of a fuller actuation when one returns. What one returns to is the concrete functioning of the whole. In that concrete functioning there is an organic interrelation and interdependence of the parts of the subject with respect to the whole, and of the individual subject with respect to the historically changing group.1 Art mirrors that organic functioning of sense and feeling, of intellect not as abstract formulation but as concrete insight, of judgment that is not just judgment, but that is moving into decision, free choice, responsible action.2 (209; Fs) (notabene) |
