Science/art, beyond self and outside?

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Sat, 08/02/2008 - 9:07am.

"art is about self-expression, while science is about representing the world outside the self"

Yep, "probably no more stable than .... ". If a neurobiologist wishes to understand her/his own thoughts, is that about "the world outside the self" or is it about "self-expression"?

More generally, is the effort to find a distinction between art and science about "the world outside the self" or is it about "self-expression"? Why are we inclined to demarcate? To clarify our differences from other people? To justify ourselves?
