We understand that this is perhaps a very intelligent and enlightening way to examine the condition of man, especially considering that art has been a part of humanity since man
started to find time for something other than hunting and surviving. Hegel and the poet Shelley are two individuals who examined art as it relates to humanity, and they are
both individuals who argued that art was not only for entertainment and pleasure, but was something that enlightened people and connected mankind to history and many other realities. In the

or reads a book or poetry that touches them somehow, cannot argue that such art is not something which entertains us and pleasures our simple senses. But, Hegel, as well
as others, went a bit further, arguing that art, in all forms, has the ability to somehow define the enlightened aspects of the Absolute. Hegel argued that art had the
ability to allow us the opportunity to interpret the rational through the concrete forms presented in art. Hegel believed that art has the ability to teach us aspects of
history, religion, and politics. This is because art touches on parts of our Mind that do not necessarily use words, but rather abstracts when working through such things as religion,
history, and politics. Our mind does not always conceive of realities in concrete words, and as such art allows us another way in which to understand, even subconsciously, our reality.
