- W2117020009 abstract "The compelling question of our existence, How shall I live? can be pursued through philosophy, art and education when tied to Aristotle's maxim, 'people who know most live best'. The ancient debate between Plato and Aristotle, however, sets philosophy against art due to the nature of understanding and whether the immediacy of emotions elicited by art can aid learning. Today we appreciate emotions have a cognitive role to play, especially in gaining practical wisdom. In knowing how we feel, we know what we think. Both philosophy and art seek truth; one through logic, the other through aesthetic intelligence which relies on intuition, senses and feelings in order to penetrate deeper, ineffable mysteries of life as well as illuminate the malaises of modern society and entrenched habits of mind. Art takes us out of ourselves and reveals limits of morality, all of which have enormous implications for education. In guiding students towards what is worthwhile, teachers strive to find moral methods of initiation and facilitate the education of feeling. The creative writing classroom provides manifold opportunities for development of the whole person. In reading literature, we practice moral discernment that suggests compassion for people as qualitatively unique beings, which reduces the distance between ourselves and the 'other'. Good literature is difficult; we must face reality but are offered ways to transcend suffering and death by becoming part of a larger realm of life, resulting in the desire to change our lives, see more and be touched more by life. Creative writing is even more immediate; our words reveal who we are and the views we hold. The learning curve is great as we take responsibility for our shortcomings and return to esteemed authors for models of moral vision. The literary canon mentors writers with high examples of creativity, imagination and technique. Experts divide on teaching writing; some believe in genius, others in skills and knowledge, but much can be encouraged in beginners if they naturally persevere and work hard. Serious engagement with literary reading and writing offers the possibility of achieving a balance between ideals and reality, heart and mind." @default.
