Introduction for the Essay
Finally, for the Essay, I will have you read a short article by the contemporary British philosopher and popular author, Alain de Botton, who argues that Art is and always has functioned as a medicine cabinet for what ails society: whatever you’ve got too much or too little of, Art can provide a balance for you and enrich your life. In this, Botton echoes some of what Nietzsche claimed the Greeks did with their tragedy. It will be up to you to decide if either of them has proved their case to your satisfaction, and to give your own philosophical account of the purpose of Art.
