    When a work transcends into art, it surpasses its cultural restraints and touches us. We are moved; we are transported to a new place that is, nevertheless, strongly rooted in a physical experience, in our bodies. When we focus on works such as Van Gogh’s “Old Man in Sorrow” or Velazquez’s “Christ Crucified” rather than “The Scream” or “Campbell’s Soup Cans”, we become aware of a feeling that may not be unfamiliar to us but which we did not actively focus on before. Unlike popular culture, this transformative experience is what art is constantly seeking. The emotions invoked from a reading of Yeats or Frost pulls the strings of our conscience and heart and most importantly, they inspire and motivate us to change ourselves and/or the world around us. No amount of Meyer or Collins can bring forth the willingness to examine and investigate our lives or the lives of others. The felt feeling of art spurs thinking, engagement, and even action. Only art alone helps people get to know and understand something with their minds and feel it emotionally and physically. By doing this, art can mitigate the almost numbing effect created by modern pop culture and society and motivate people to start thinking and doing.…

In Milan he meets the bishop of Milan, Ambrose, and at the age of thirty three Augustine is baptized and converted to Catholic Christianity. Ambrose played a significant role in the development of Augustine, by introducing him to the neo-Platonists philosophy, as well as a more gratifying method of interpreting scripture. The neo-platonic philosophy emphasized the unity of God, the search for truth and that the good and beautiful are the basis for human existence. This view of reality was far more rewarding for Augustine than the dualistic view of Manichaeism.…
