Would then language be the byproduct of repeating art? Or using art to communicate?
I've gotten past a lot of the reductive beliefs around the superiority of STEM, so this meme is kinda cool to think about in regards to the humanities.
I at first would have thought the arts, psychology, creativity, etc. would descend from biology in this line. However, if our developments in computer science and artificial intelligence tell us anything, it's that there is still a lot we don't understand about creativity, art, and the human mind.
I know I'm overthinking the meme, but it really gave me a lot to think about.
Marx’s view on philosophy was basically that its idealism lifted up contemplation as a domain independent of practical experience. Therefore Marx’s “philosophy” was materialist, rejecting a quest for knowledge divorced from practice. See also: Theses on Feuerbach, The German Ideology, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right.
I don’t remember where he says this but Marx regarded consciousness as emerging from the moment that a thinking being recognizes itself as distinct from everything else. Ie consciousness = self-consciousness. Abstraction, thinking in terms of ideal categories follow from that. And language is the communication of concepts between individuals whose conceptions may vary, but have some abstract similarity based on a common material existence.
