Quote:
A nice sound bite Probably written by an aesthete or a politician to justify the superiority of the educated classes.
It establishes as a fact the belief that...
a labourer can't think nor appreciate the finer things.
A craftsman has no inner feelings nor sense of artistic beauty.
That an artist is the only complete person.
It makes distinctions and assumptions, where none are needed, about the attributes of the people engaged in the various occupations.
It makes no sense of the Labourer who is also a recognised artist. Or the artist who feeds himself by labouring.
An individual functions in many worlds, and is not described by any one of them.
Robert, is that you?
