Art and aesthetics

asked 2 years ago

Hello Rabbi,
A. What is the correct definition of the concept of art? If there is one…
B. In the Rabbi’s personal opinion, is it possible to establish legality that would determine what is considered fine art and what is not? Are the sense of beauty and aesthetics intuitions that cannot be limited to rules and perhaps even purely subjective?

I don’t think it can be defined sharply. There are characteristics, and they depend on genre and field. See a detailed discussion of the definition of poetry and literature in the Tory series on this (107 ff.).
