[40] The value of art. N.d. Web. 4 Nov. 2015. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetics>

["Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means

of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and

that other people are infected by these feelings and also experience them." To

some extent, the value of art, for Tolstoy, is one with the value of empathy.]
[41] อ้างแล้ว. [However, sometimes empathy is not of value. In chapter fifteen of What Is

Art ?,Tolstoy

says that some feelings are good, but others are bad, and so art is only

valuable when it generates empathy or shared feeling for good feelings. For
example, Tolstoy asserts that empathy for decadent members of the ruling

class makes society worse, rather than better. In chapter sixteen, he asserts

that the best art is "universal art" that expresses simple and accessible positive

feeling.]

[Wilde was concerned about the effect of moralising on art, he believed in art's

redemptive, developmental powers: "Art is individualism, and individualism is a

disturbing and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks is to
disturb monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man

to the level of a machine."]
