Unlike philosophy, art
does not search for islands of security from which other experiences can

qualities or enjoyment, of
pleasure
or common sense.
| Guess: |

| Question: |
How does the pursuit of art contrast with philosophy regarding their approach to experiences that may be considered fantastic, imaginary, or related to pleasure and common sense? |
| Answer: |
Art and philosophical approaches like that of Descartes or Newton contrast in their relationships to experiences such as the fantastic, the imaginary, or that of pleasure and common sense. Unlike philosophy, art does not seek security from these experiences or reject them as secondary or frivolous. Instead, art explores and intensifies the difference between real and merely possible experiences. It showcases through its own works that order can exist even in the realm of possibilities. This can result in astonishment, both for observers of art and the artists themselves. This contrasts starkly with philosophy's and science's search for certainty and rationality, and their dismissal of what may be perceived as imaginary or connected with pleasure and common sense. |

Doubtfull it stood,
As two spent Swimmers, that doe cling together,
And choake their Art: The
mercilesse
Macdonwald
(Worthie to be a Rebell, for to that
The multiplying Villanies of Nature
Doe swarme vpon him) from the Westerne Isles
Of Kernes and Gallowgrosses is supply'd,
And Fortune on his damned Quarry smiling,
Shew'd like a Rebells Whore: but all's too weake:
For braue Macbeth (well hee deserues that Name)
Disdayning Fortune, with his brandisht Steele,
Which smoak'd with bloody execution
(Like Valours Minion) caru'd out his passage,
Till hee fac'd the Slaue:
Which neu'r shooke hands, nor bad farwell to him,
Till he vnseam'd him from the Naue toth' Chops,
And fix'd his Head vpon our Battlements
King.
