Dealing with the definition of art

שו”תCategory: generalDealing with the definition of art
asked 7 years ago

I read your article about Jewish identity and in general.
At the end, you write and emphasize the conclusion that these questions have no value other than intellectual amusement. You mentioned there that even searching for a definition of ‘art’ is worthless. And a waste of time.
And here I ask, in light of the time and posts you have devoted here to the definition of art, has your position changed? And if so, can you explain it?
Thanks in advance.

It’s possible, I don’t remember. Can you provide a quote here (with context)?

It's hard to quote everything. But it's a significant part of the conclusions at the end of the article: "Suddenly a person wakes up in the morning and feels that he is with."

I made the mistake again and agreed to give up on the questioner for his laziness. I asked for a quote and you didn't provide it, but you settled for a statement that a significant part of my article says this. I went through the whole thing again and didn't find even a shred of such a statement. There is one comment and it's not exactly that either.
So now I won't answer until you provide a quote with its context and define the question well.
Sorry for the harshness, but this happens quite a bit and it's very annoying.

I was offended. I understood this from the last two pages of the article and the last comment. It's really hard for me to quote two whole pages, legitimately, isn't it? (It's a real shame that you can't insert page photos). So I probably didn't divide things up well. But the aggression is outrageous. Well, I understand, but there are a lot of slackers and lazy people, and that's why the outrage. Okay. Anyway, I'll look into it during the day. I hope to find my mistake on my own. If I can't, I'll ask.

Thanks for everything!

Hello
He wasn't angry that you understood it to be true. He asked you for a reference to the exact place where he said it, so instead of going to read it again and looking up whether it was really written or not, you said something like this: “I understood it in general from the article, so I'm not going to bother looking, now go look for it for me”. When you come to someone and ask them to take the time to answer, you should try and take the hassle out of them as much as possible. When they explicitly ask you to look up something, don't leave it to them. That's impudence. So yes, he gave you something that challenges you a bit – to find out whether what you thought was written in the text is actually written there, that is, to read it well and check whether you understood it correctly or maybe you were wrong. You can give up on the question because you don't have the strength to do so, and you can check, but to blame it on him is simply impudence.
