Excerpt from Art and Education Contemporary theories of art generally suffer from inconsistency. They are only in part interpretations of art and of experience as these are to be observed today; in part, they represent a survival of opinions and as sumptious inherited from the Greeks. According to Greek theory, art is a form of practice, and so incurs the reproach of being concerned with a merely subjec tive, changing and imperfect world. This was true of all arts, of those now classified as fine as well as of the useful crafts practised by the artisan. In contrast with both, science was regarded as a revelation - in fact, the only true revelation - Of reality. It was thought to be through science alone that access is pro vided to the world as it is in itself, not colored or dis torted by human Wants or preferences. Art corre sponded to production, science to contemplation, and the productive was branded as inferior, an activity proper only to mechanics and Slaves.
