Exploring the Hierarchy of Knowledge: Art, Science, and Society's Perceptions

This thesis investigates the extent to which we construct a hierarchy of knowledge, emphasizing the interplay between art and science. It draws on Arthur Miller's “Space, Time, and the Beauty that Causes Havoc” to illuminate differing perceptions of artists and scientists. The discourse navigates through various mediums such as Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, the Theory of Relativity, and the impact of societal needs on knowledge classification. The work highlights the implications of blind faith in science and the marginalization of emotional responses, questioning our understanding of knowledge in contemporary society.
