Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by philosophers asking the tough questions since the beginning of

00:09

time All right we're skimming We're just going to skim

00:11

this like skim it fast like ripping off a mandate

00:13

hurts less if you do it quickly Philosopher said that

00:16

one All right which of the falling Does the author

00:18

not assert or imply in paragraph three And here are

00:22

potential answers There we go No and we're going to

00:24

get paragraph three here pretty quick All right Does the

00:26

author researcher imply that aesthetic order in the past has

00:30

carried over to the present Well the author discusses order

00:33

in the sixth line of paragraph three For there is

00:35

a certain order or rhythm belonging to each of these

00:38

classes of min medic representation from which the hearer and

00:43

the spectator receive an intense er and pure pleasure than

00:47

from any other The sense of an approximation to this

00:49

order has been called taste by modern writers All right

00:52

Well by telling us what modern writers call this concept

00:55

we can assume that concept has been around for a

00:57

while So the authors implying that aesthetic order in the

01:00

past has carried over to the present but also a

01:02

is not our answer Does the author assert or imply

01:05

that the rhythms of dance music and language mimic nature

01:08

Well the author makes this assertion pretty plainly in the

01:11

first lines of paragraph three in the youth of the

01:13

world men dance and sing and imitate natural objects observing

01:17

in these actions as in all others a certain rhythm

01:19

or order well the youth of the world imitating nature

01:22

through art may not be as obvious is dancing babies

01:25

raining from the sky but we have a pretty strong

01:27

message here So be is not our answer Does the

01:29

author imply that order and rhythm differ according to the

01:32

art that expresses them Well again if we can decipher

01:35

the outdated english we find this answer pretty clearly stated

01:37

in the text And although all men observe a similar

01:40

they observed not the same order in the motions of

01:42

dance in the melody of song in the combinations of

01:45

language in the series of their limitations of natural objects

01:49

For there is a certain order or rhythm belonging to

01:52

each of these classes of mma medic representation Well while

01:55

no medic representation may sound like something related to the

01:58

practice of mining It actually refers to an imitation of

02:01

the real world and art which probably includes mining way

02:04

Suppose this quote not only provides further proof for our

02:07

art mimics nature answer But it tells us that each

02:09

form of nomadic representation has a different order and rhythm

02:12

which also tells us that sea is not the correct

02:14

answer Alright let's look att eat because the author assert

02:17

or implied that art gives pleasure conforms to an intrinsic

02:21

order This may be a bold statement It may disappoint

02:23

picasso but again we can find it right in the

02:25

text If we finish the last sense we looked at

02:28

we can see the author answers this question as well

02:30

For there is a certain order or rhythm belonging to

02:33

each of these classes of nomadic representation from which the

02:36

hearer and the spectator receive an intensive and pure pleasure

02:39

than from any other Well this is a pretty unequivocal

02:42

assertion The author definitely believes hearers and spectators get more

02:47

pleasure from ordered art than from a gn ordered art

02:51

Sorry picasso All right let's Get e out of our

02:53

lives Once again we're left with one option So let's

02:55

helps a good one Does the other sort of implied

02:58

that refined taste is essential to appreciating artistic expression Well

03:02

while a refined taste might be necessary to appreciate escargot

03:05

it is not essential to appreciating artistic expression at least

03:09

according to our author He mentions taste but never says

03:12

you need it in order to enjoy art So our

03:14

answer is d another literary mystery solved philosophizing that
