Author Lewis Henry Martin’s
The intention; Philosophy: philo- (love) -sophia (wisdom).
“…without the provocation of art and philosophy, we suffer aimless pursuits, endure captive lives, and lack that spirited purpose and fulfillment.
I accept, as a large portion of the creative responsibilities of artists and philosophers; the challenge of delivery, of entertaining the attention, sufficient to enlighten, in order to enable individuals to set free that spirit, so they might reduce or prevent that suffering; and to imagine a world inspired with a better story.”
The action; Art: the skill to enact the creative, to implement the imagination.
“All that I can know is conditional, actuated by the works and sacrifices of every life before me. Every chiseled façade, every pull of paint, and every arrangement of word and symbol carries intention, meaning, and influence, and each are testaments, monuments to the labors of our shared existence. Separated by time, infinitely together. The preservation and promulgation of those accomplishments, contributions, and work is the task each of us bear as stewards and storytellers. It is affirmation that we were here.”
Author Lewis Henry Martin’s motto, “Big stories. Simple philosophy.” is intention in action. The mission; to make meaningful philosophy entertaining.
