That said, according to your moral compass, you may find someone elses choice of residence construction as opposed to your value set as you view or perceive ones neighborhood. In essence Illustrator, we are back to the question of morality and exactly what it is, a subjective measure. At least in terms that all would agree on. Those posted, and really having not much to do with the question of "morality and architecture" what is your point exactly? You keep expounding on "the greater good", but I have my doubts that you can necessarily identify just what that good may be. "Wise men are instructed by reason men of less understanding, by experience the most ignorant, by necessity the beasts, by nature." "Of all the inanimate objects, of all men’s creations, books are the nearest to us, for they contain our very thoughts, our ambitions, our indignations, our illusions, our fidelity to truth, and our persistent leaning toward error." "There are worse crimes than burning books. I am not sure that I am following your logic, much less granting you the premise but if you want to throw quotations around, here are some other opinions regarding knowledge, books, fools and experience. Some people have experienced it, some have not. It’s a matter of moving past the distractions and experiencing it for yourself. I’m not trying to tell anyone they’re foolish and should stop reading books – simply there’s more to understanding than what can be spoken or written about. Verbal knowledge is of no use for overcoming the delusions of the world, just as darkness does not cease to exist merely by talking about a lamp.” “Ignorant of the Truth within himself, the fool is infatuated with books, like the dull-witted shepherd who searches for a goat in the well when it is in its enclosure. Or were these words recorded with the distractions of other concepts (ie an agenda other than serving the greater good)? What you have to ask yourself is: “are these conceptualizations founded upon a principled conscentiousness?” That is, the highest possible order of morality. Then it’s just a matter of practice and honing your new skill.īack to morality: We can look to the words in books (conceptualizations) or the law (also conceptualizations) to tell us a definition (a definition by definition is a conceptualization) of what’s moral, “amoral,” and immoral. If you simply allow yourself to see what is, instead of assigning meaning to the subject, you have made the leap to an artistic endeavor. If you idealize the subject you are trying to draw, you will be distracted by concepts you attach to it. What’s more, books have a hard time relating exactly how to go about doing this because they are by definition conceptual. This is an ability we all have, we just don’t tend to nurture it. There are countless books that talk about drawing, and offer useful technical information, but few if any illuminate a fundemental stumbling block in learning to draw: in order to draw well, one must submit to a NONconceptual mode of observation. Most people don’t know how to draw, or at least they don’t think they have the ability to draw as well as those who appear exceptionally ‘talented.’ The reality is drawing is a learned skill, and ANYONE can eventually render likenesses to some degree of proficiency. Let me make an analogy about types of understanding and how we define and observe things – an analogy that pertains to a subject noone can claim I’m not an expert in.
