The Picture of Dorian Grey

What is it like to not be in denial with your soul? To have a mirror to your consciousness that one cannot deny? No, it is not the art that has the power to influence man. It is the power of the man, (an active act in doing so,) to be influenced by art.
Ironical, because it is art and not the man to possess the soul; in its true meaning. For is not having a soul, same as having the omnipotent divine in you?in being truthful to oneself?

In Widle's own words indeed, the separation of the body and the spirit is as enigmatic as it's unison. He contrasts the gift of emotion, which can lead us astray, with the beauty of science's emotionlessness, showing the tension between subjective experience and objective observation; the said subjective experience having 0 ethical value.
