The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science!!?

Answer 1

einstein, i believe, said something along those lines. for the more sensitive among us it's absolutely axiomatic. for the massive number of troglodytes we must live among, however, it's quite threatening, eh? what they esteem is "certainty", the material, and the easy to comprehend, like greed, status, ruthless ambition, selfishness, and murder. ;-)

Answer 2

The most beautiful thing we can experience is nature :) and THAT is the source of all art and science. IMO.

Answer 3

No, but the sense for it keeps us living, keeps us alert to danger and our own stupidity....perhaps art, yes and from that, science.

"c. The totality of Arts

c. Now, after architecture has erected the temple, and the hand of sculpture has supplied it with the statue of the God, then, in the third place, this god present to sense is confronted in the spacious halls of his house by the community. The community is the spiritual reflection into itself of such sensuous existence, and is the animating subjectivity and inner life which brings about the result that the determining principle for the content of art, as well as for the medium which represents it in outward form, comes to be particularisation (dispersion into various shapes, attributes, incidents, etc.), individualisation, and the subjectivity which they require. The solid unity which the God has in sculpture breaks up into the multitudinous inner lives of individuals, whose unity is not sensuous, but purely ideal."

Answer 4

Without mysteries, life would be very dull. What would be left to strive for if everything were known?
