Question

all the arts and sciences have their roots in the struggle against death

Answer 1

technology goes 2 ways.... the art of death and the art of making a better and longer life

Answer 2

while science is definately in most part a struggle to better understand life it can certainly be seen as a struggle against death, the topic became very famouse especially in time of Romanticism when a sudden development of science entered literature (as an art) in its struggle for immortality. but, at this precise point, it is clearly evident that art is not a struggle for immortality, but the tool in seaking anwers and, certainly, aestetics in this struggle. it raised many moral questions, some of which are still discussed today. the art tries to achieve a different sort of immortality all together, the immortality of the artist through the survival of his/her work. the art has been concentrating on this specific immortality since its first records, and, unlike science, much of this immortality was achieved. so you could say that both art and science struggle against death, each in its own specific way, and each can see death in another light.

Answer 3

The struggle against death doesnt really define the boundries.

As for the arts having their roots in any struggle apart from the struggle against boredom i would have to disagree,

Science does have many of its roots in the struggle for survival,ie the science of building,the science of warmth,much science would have started from the wonderment of natural phenomina.

Answer 4

The arts depict life and its environs.
Science is the ebb and flow of knowledge and is generally studied in order to improve life and its environs, and to prolong the onset of death.
