Write a Fictional Argumentative Dialogue Between Two People Discussing the Meaning

question 43

Essay

Write a fictional argumentative dialogue between two people discussing the meaning and value of art. The dialogue should deal with the following issues: beauty and reality or truth; beauty and taste; censorship; and the ethics and educational value of art (how art does affect us and how it should affect us, morally speaking).    The two people should feel free to share their experiences with art, formal and popular. They should draw on resources in the chapter and include brief quotations, where possible, from the major philosophers who have weighed in on these issues.
