The urge for abstraction originated in the sense of immortality within primitive wo/man. The conjunction of abstraction with immortality in turn developed in the concept of ‘soul’. This chain of events subsequently created religion; art then led beyond abstraction to the objectivizing and concretizing of the prevailing idea of the soul.

Anything produced objectively in a period by the current idea of the soul was considered to be beautiful. The aesthetic history of the concept of beauty is likely to be nothing more than changing contemporary conception of the soul that resulted from the ever increasing knowledge.

Artistic creation, “art-will” must be comprehended as an expression of both a personal will of the artist and also as an expression of the collective ideologies, i.e. the religious and philosophical ideologies, effecting the artist. “The artist as a definite creative individual uses the art form that he finds in order to express something personal”. We might well ask ‘what are the motives and processes that trigger the art-will in order to create an art-achievement’?

To comprehend art and the artist we must focus upon the art-will of the artist and we must also consider the religious and philosophical tendencies of the times; we must consider the collective ideologies of the time. The artist must use what is at hand to express something personal and creative that is somehow connected with the collective nature of the times. The individual artist creates her art while simultaneously using the art in vogue at the time.

The belief in immortality seems to express it self both in art and in social institutions like religion in a parallel manner. The essence of the art-will seems to be to eternalize the object of the art-accomplishment. To give an object of art immortality in an abstract form is to bring it to its absolute value. There is in art an “instinctive urge to abstraction”; religion being the best example of that urge. The primitive religious belief in souls is abstract in conception and has been called by more advanced religions wherein gods have already taken a concrete form

The idea of soul as it progresses through history is important consideration here. Original primitive art is an attempt to make concrete what is abstract. The soul, an abstraction, is represented in a concrete manner. It is evident that art and religion are conjoined from primitive times to the present.

Religious art is a display of the ever changing concept of what is beautiful. The concept of the beautiful that inspires the art of a period is derived not from the abstract concept of soul but from the concretization of that concept.

Religious art concretes the abstract idea of soul and thereby makes the soul convincing; it creates something tangible and lasting of a concept as it moves down from generation to generation by a mystical verbal tradition that became fixed only later.

“This close association, in fact fundamental identity, of art and religion, each of which strives in its own way to make the absolute eternal and the eternal absolute, can be already seen at the most primitive stages of religious development, where there are as yet neither representations if gods nor copies of nature.”

Quotes and ideas from “Art and Artist” by Otto Rank
 
1. What is "soul".

Soul is defined as any combination of belly button lint, snot, dandruff and/or that funky stuff under your nails.

2. Do we have a soul?

Yes, everyone does. It's what makes us human.

3. Where is the soul, in us?

It is in various places not limited to; on your head, up your nose, in your belly button, and under your nails.

4. When does the soul get formed?

The same time as the rest of you.

5. Does it come from Mam or Dad?

Both and neither. It really comes from you.

6. Does the soul grow? And learn?

As you get older, you produce more lint, snot, dandruff and nail gunk. At this time we are unable to determine if souls learn, but it is generally accepted that they don't.

7. If the darker skined of us have more soul, is the soul in our skin? Or in other mythalogically large parts of our bodies?

I already told you where it is. Darker skinned people do not have more soul. People with poor hygiene have more soul and it is funky.

8. Is the soul E.M. or biochemical or spiritual?

The biochemical aspect of soul is well documented, the electromagnetic properties less so, and the spiritual nature of soul has been the subject of extensive and mostly fruitless speculation.

9. Can the soul be measured?

Yes.

10. Can the soul be isolated? In a bottle?

Yes, some of it can be removed and isolated. It's not only possible, it's recommended if you interact with others on a regular basis.

11. Do souls mate?

That's disgusting.
 
Your soul will start to die without enough (good) sex, it says so in the right in the bible. I made that up but like anyone is actually going to check the bible anyway.

I think polar has something on his mind... Just be open about it, we aren't shy here. :)
 
I've seen no evidence for a soul.

Unfortunately, it's been a while since I saw evidence for sex as well.
 
I would compare the soul to the conscience when looking for evidence.I think most would agree that we all have a conscience but yet there is no physical proof, and we don't know where in our bodies it exists or who we get it from

Define "conscience". In you mean consciousness then we do have evidence of its existence. We know that it exists in our brains. Remove a limb and, aside from emotional trauma, there is no effect on the operation of one's conscious mind. Remove part of the brain and there will be an observable effect on one's conscious mind. As for "from whom we get it", you should add "If we get it from someone".
 
You and your foot fetish.

Oh, wait, wrong soul.

I too love Baarry Whiite and king Brown...And maybe Mrs.Franklin can be Mom!:cool:

But I liked this point here...Zygote hits the nail on the head, "ouch"...

The conscience in ALL animals can be found in the brain (to varying extents, perhaps) but a removal of a part of the body...does that reduce the soul?:confused:

What, I wonder do our religious friends think?:D

I can see that the brain still responds to an amputated arm as if it were there, so how effective is the consciousness, only as good as a memory?

It must be a hybrid then right?:confused:

But soul...no chopping off of bits seems to have an effect. So it's not in the body.

The mind then? The brain? Well, maybe, since if a person is mentally disabled by an accident (having once been ok - a type of control) ...do they still have a soul?:boggled:

The soul appears to be defined as 'eternal' as is god...so then I would say it is nonsense...how can anything be eternal?:rolleyes:
