Indeed, I would feel that an appreciation of the arts in a conscious, disciplined way might help one to do science better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would like people to appreciate science in the same way they appreciate the arts.
There is an idea that a mind is wasted on the arts unless it makes you good in math or science. There is some evidence that the arts might help you in math and science.
When I was in high school, I fell under the spell of that crazy idea that if you're interested in the arts, you can't be interested in science.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
For me, spiritual practice is a lot closer to art than science.
I'd like to put in a vote for the intrinsic fascination of science.
I don't think we have reached a point where art really translates into science. Perhaps for some people, having good visuals can help translate into science.
The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity.
The usefulness of science is sometimes exaggerated. You'd never talk about music being useful or art being useful.
I would say the connection between art and science is very tenuous for me. It's just that I'm interested in both. I don't think that my interest in art affects the kind of science that I do.
