Art is an activity, the product of that activity or our idea of it, which is deliberately directed to the senses, emotions, intuitions and the intellect. It can be said that art is peculiar to humans or any other consciousness, as arising from an intention, and that this activity has no defined practical function. We consider the term "art" in opposition to nature "conceived as a producing power without
reflection" 1, and to science "conceived as pure knowledge independent of applications"
