# Title: 2025-09-09 ## Summary The Project _the_ _Idea Grounding Art_ includes looking at the truth-claims of Art from an knowledge theoretical and phenomenological participatory lens. So the contradiction between the mythos of the now and the pathos of the future in culture. This does not exclude philosophy and playing the piano and painting. Insights shall be presented at an participatory festival for example Borderland July 20-26 in 2026. ## Main Content What does the ancient Asha versus Druj dichotomy have to do with contemporary theory and practice of Art? This is how an AI-overview puts it: 'The English word "art" comes from the Latin word ars, meaning "skill" or "craft". This Latin term is derived from an ancient Proto-Indo-European root, *ar(ə)-ti-, related to the concept of "fitting together". Over time, the meaning of "art" expanded from technical skill to encompass the creative application of human imagination and skill to produce works appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.' Our hypothesis are that Asha and Art is related to the idea of fitting together. As such we would contend that it's the planet that is fitted together and it's through networks that this is done, so we have properties of things, yet what matters for art is the fitting together. Via the work of Alexander Bard, for example [[2003 The Global Empire]], but also [[2023 Process and Event]]. Which argues that the smallest unit which is a node is Konstbruket (part of Studiefrämjandet) as a sociont and Gränslandet as socionts connected together. Which then connects to religion, spirituality and philosophy. Which have archetypes, membranes, and paradigmatics as the categories that connects these ideas. Or as Hegel argues, Essence (for religion, which includes each archetype), the Concept (for spirituality, which includes each membranes), Becoming (for philosophy, which includes the paradigmatics). As such a relevant book is [[2019 Education in a Time Between Worlds]] by [[Zachary Stein]]. We thus can speak of emergence vectors of culture (for example Konstbruket), and of God (for example Gränslandet). Which both have transcendence as Grounding Idea. As that which fits together: instinct, drive and desire into a whole movement, the absolute idea, or the absolute essence. ## Connections ### Related Notes - [[2025-09-09 What moves the Ground of Being?]] ### Parent Notes - [[2025-09-09 The Project Idea Grounding Art]] ### Child Notes - [[Specific detail on this topic]] - [[Supporting example for this idea]]
