Title: Memória e Amor
Matching lines:

A humanidade realmente adquiriu a arte da vida religiosa. E Schiller tem razÃ£o ao dizer: â€œSomente no alvorecer da beleza se avanÃ§a para a terra do conhecimentoâ€, que geralmente se encontra citado nos livros como â€œSomente atravÃ©s da porta da beleza se avanÃ§a para a terra do conhecimento.â€ Se um artista comete um lapso, isso Ã© passado para a posteridade. A leitura certa, Ã© claro, Ã©: â€œSomente no alvorecer da beleza se avanÃ§a para a terra do conhecimentoâ€. Em outras palavras: todo conhecimento vem por meio da arte. Fundamentalmente, nÃ£o hÃ¡ conhecimento que nÃ£o seja intimamente relacionado Ã arte. Ã‰ apenas o conhecimento ligado ao exterior, Ã utilidade, que aparenta nÃ£o ter ligaÃ§Ã£o com a arte. Mas esse conhecimento sÃ³ pode se estender ao que, no mundo, um mero lapidador saberia sobre pintura. Assim que na quÃmica ou na fÃsica se vai alÃ©m â€“ estou falando figurativamente, mas vocÃª sabe o que quero dizer â€“ do que a mera retificaÃ§Ã£o de cores implica, a ciÃªncia se torna arte. E quando o artÃstico Ã© compreendido em sua natureza espiritual da maneira correta, ele gradualmente avanÃ§a para o religioso. Arte, religiÃ£o e ciÃªncia eram uma coisa sÃ³, e ainda Ã© possÃvel termos uma noÃ§Ã£o de sua origem comum. Isso alcanÃ§aremos apenas quando a civilizaÃ§Ã£o e o desenvolvimento humano retornarem ao espÃrito; quando levarmos a sÃ©rio a relaÃ§Ã£o existente entre o homem aqui, em sua existÃªncia fÃsica terrena, e o mundo espiritual. Devemos nos apropriar desse conhecimento sob os mais diversos pontos de vista.
