Is the creation of art the highest form of human expression?

Answer 1

Art is probably the last sacred thing left on earth

Answer 2

Well, you're practicing value heirarchical thinking. An artist would say that art is the highest form of human expression, likely because they had thought that around the time that they decided to become an artist and nothing has changed their minds since. But that is within the context of the artist; an engineer may very well argue that "art" is no longer art at all, but a commericialized clique culture with the sole goal of making something original (as opposed to truly expressive), and therefore conclude that engineering is the highest form of human expression. The difference here is in the definitions of "highest" and "human expression" for the engineer and the artist. Anyway, you can't objectively rank forms of human expression, unless you define one of them as being the SOLE method of human expression (i.e. if you defined "art" as "human expression", then "art" would be the ONLY form of human expression and engineering would only be human expression insofar as it was an art at the same time).

It's very subjective. Value hierarchical thinking (taking similar things and ranking them) is dangerous; make sure that it does not allow you to let certain things dominate (i.e. don't let logic entirely rule your life, don't let rebellion entirely rule your life, etc. even if you decide that logic/rebellion is superior to irrationality/conformity).

Answer 3

The shaping of a human life is the highest form of human expression: parenting.

Answer 4

The highest form of human expression is the artificial manipulation of the natural environment.

Unfortunately, even though its our highest achievement, we've not given it our fullest effort and generally made a royal mess of it.

Answer 6

If I was of Nietzschean tendencies I would say that art is the sublimation of will to power and therefore the noblest of human expressions, and even more so if it fused the Dichotomy of Apollo and Dionysus together.

Answer 7

We use art to apply the engima of our consciousness. Yes it is the highest form of human expression.

Answer 9

If you believe God, then God Himself on a couple of occasions said that Jesus was His Son. There's a difference between Jesus and these others you have mentioned. Jesus is God come in the flesh. If you look at the Gospel of John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God. Everyone that you mentioned, and all born again Christians, become heirs with Christ, and become children of God. We are not all God's children, only believers are called His. But Christ is God, He himself said in John 10:30, I and My Father are one. In Colossi ans, 1 st Chapter, it says the Jesus is the Creator of everything, showing that Jesus and God are one in the same. In Revelation, Jesus says I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. There's a difference between Jesus being the only begotten Son of the Father, and others being a child of God through heirship.

Answer 10

Sometimes I find it is the lowest form of human expression.
