Nice.
Art is short for artifact, meaning human created. So of course philosophy is an art.
The "what is art" debate gets turgid when it drifts into "fine art" vs "pop art". Whatever. It's all art. Making distinctions is sophistry.
- harperlee 6y agoIt is the converse: an artifact is made (factum) by art (arte).
- specialist 6y agoHeh. Ya, that's better. Like saying universities (collections of scholars) produce scholarship. I love the idea of philosophers producing philosophy.
