the connection between art and ethics
Art is a kind of expression.
Good art is complete expression.
The work of art is the object seen sub spiecie aeternitatis; and the good life is the world seen sub spiecie aeternitatis. This is the connection between art and ethics.
The usual way of looking at things sees objects as it were from the midst of them, the view sub spiecie aeternitatis from outside.
In such a way that they have the whole world as background.
Wittgenstein - Notebooks
