1. The nature and function of art over the last tens of thousands of years
In my last article I wrote “ Life is a rare gift in the universe but our power societies, and more particularly the quasi-worldview of Modernity, lost touch with this evidence. Now that we start to grasp the fact that this gift could be taken away we come to appreciate that it is the most precious thing we ever had. ”
Since the principle of life is the most important thing we ever had would it not be logical to derive all our ideas and actions about how to live from this principle ?
The first question that arises is then ‘what is life? ‘.
