- What is the proper function of the arts: to capture a perception of reality, to teach or uplift the mind, to express emotion, to create beauty, to bind a community together or to praise a spiritual power?
- Does art, or can art, tell the truth? If so, is artistic truth the same as truth in the context of the natural sciences or the human sciences, or history? How might the knowledge claims of art be verified or falsified?
