Classic Greek Aesthetics 12/7/21–Maddie

 Plato’s and Aristotle’s philosophies differ when it comes to art. Plato believes that art is an imitation, a copy of a copy, while Aristotle believes that art is a representation. This was what this article was discussing. I don’t believe that art is a mindless copy, rather it falls in tangent with the views of Aristotle. Artistic styles, such as abstract and contemporary art would support this claim because neither of these styles are exact copies of what they are based on, rather the artists’ representation of what it should be.

Art and experiencing art is essential to our being.

Someone who is focused on the experience of their journey rather than an end goal is the broadest definition of pilgrim that I can take away from this. I had only thought of pilgrims as either religious pilgrims or the image of the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, but what a pilgrim really is is someone on a spiritual journey of some kind. In class, we discussed Chris McCandless was a pilgrim going on a journey that people really misunderstood. He separated himself from society and left to find himself, and people struggle to understand actions like this that they see as reckless or dangerous. Pilgrims are liminal, the cease to be productive in society and remove themselves from it in order to connect with nature/god, and in a productivity focused society like ours it is hard to appreciate these people and their pursuit of higher self...

Pilgrimage as Spiritual Journey or Aesthetic Tourism Along the Appalachian Trail 10/20/21–Maddie

  Before reading this paper, I had never put too much thought into pilgrimism versus tourism. I had thought the two could be interchangeable, but with subtle differences. Pilgrims and tourists may share an aesthetic experience, however it is the journey that differentiates them. WIth pilgrims, the journey itself can be the aesthetic experience, while with tourists, the end is the experience.
