This brings up the question, What is the relationship between politics, art, and philosophy? Is there one?
To be sure, I believe there is a profound relationship between the three and not merely on the surface of one man’s blog. There is an intertwining among them that, I believe, cannot be separated. All politics is an extension of a philosophy. Values, not ideas, are what drive men to latch on and to take hold of a political ideology. The ideas are merely the outflow of the values that drive human action.
Art too is an extension of a personal philosophy. You could say that philosophy is the bedrock of all intellectual or thought process, and that includes art. Pinpoint a man’s values and I believe you can determine the type of art he will like and the political ideas to which he will subscribe. Kudos to Filip Spagnoli for marrying these three disciplines into one media source.
