Week 6, Wednesday

I think what I found helpful today in our discussion of modernity was the idea that with modernity the world was broken up into spheres. Specifically, how this created a fracture between the church's relationship with art. It would seem that modernity was a product of post enlightenment thought and a response to the individual's rationality. I think this is helpful as we try to understand where and why the fractures occur between the church and art.

Absolutely - I think you'll find a lot of material on these questions.
