Abstract
Abstract This chapter continues the thesis presented in Chapter 7, in demonstrating that a kinesthetic shift occurs in the arts from a centripetal to a more centrifugal pattern of motion over the course of the ancient period. In Chapter 7, we looked closely at this centrifugal pattern in the formal arts of written verse, tragedy, and metallurgy. In this chapter, we demonstrate the dominance of the same kinetic pattern in the arts of architecture, music, and medicine. The argument of this chapter is that each of these major fields is defined predominately by a distinctly centrifugal pattern of motion and a formal aesthetics. The argument is that the origin of form is not eternal or immaterial but rather in the kinetic structure of matter itself.
