Theory of Knowledge : The Art of Being Human Chapters 1 & 2

Humanities Humanities grew out of the term “humanism”. During the Renaissance people believed that only through a study of art, literature, and philosophy could a person become “fully human”. By sharpening our awareness of the present…and by linking us to the past, the humanities provide a wider view of life.

Becoming an “Infinite” Person Someone who is considered to be a model of humanism is often called a “Renaissance man”. Leonardo Da Vinci is the most famous example. He designed airplanes, submarines, speculated about the circulatory system, and painted the Mona Lisa.

Benefits of being an infinite person… they commit no crimes against humanity They are free of prejudice They do not jump to quick conclusions, examine all sides of an argument and are always willing to reconsider in the light of new data

Nietzsche’s two ways of responding to the Humanities… Apollonian Dionysian Rational, reasonable, analytical, respond to Greek tragedy by seeking meaning. Emotional, intuitive, free from limits, respond emotionally the force and fury of tragedy I love this song, the lyrics are so poignant! This song is so moving, I love it!

It is easy to give the critical mind a vacation and surrender to the Dionysian excitement of a moment. Popcorn Syndrome refers to movies, TV shows, and books that are entertaining without engaging much thought. A good test is to see if the work leaves you with residual thoughts . Can result in a “popcorn hangover” The Popcorn Syndrome

Empathy Dionysian part of our nature. We identify with a character or performer. Why we enjoy horror films, suspense The greater the immediate danger, the more the audience feels it is being entertained

Alienation Apollonian part of our nature. This makes sure the audience is not so involved in the story that they do not heed the authors message Critical thinking applied to the work can enhance the experience This is what creates “great works”

Literalists Figuratists Noncritical thinkers Relate all experiences to themselves Opinions shaped by popular views “That movie was too gory for me, I prefer a nice love story.” Critical thinkers See the present moment in broader terms. Colorful language and wide experiences “This movie was filled with clichés.”

Literalist Speech Limited to the “everyday concete” Listen haphazardly to what a figuratist is generally saying. Don’t pick up on metaphor, slow witted, don’t get the joke

Figuratist Speech Use colorful language and metaphors Quick witted Understands references and gets the joke

Examples… F-“It ain’t over ‘til its over.” –Yogi Berra L-There’s always hope. F-Only three things matter in real estate-Location, location, location. L- That’s only one.
