Written in reaction to Plato’s attack on art as being useless and also how art keeps us even further removed from the true nature of the world. I may do philosophy and I may think that Plato is amazing, but I think he was wrong to criticize art in such a way.
Philosophy is sex for my mind,
From the Republic to Being and Time,
But all it does is appeal to my logic,
But it’s the emotions that seem to explain a topic,
The limitations of Philosophy are apparent,
It’s cold thinking and that much is transparent,
Art of any type appeals to my feelings,
But it seems I need both to reach the ceiling.
