Abstract
In the following compact and short writing, an attempt has been made to analyze and explain the “Simultaneity” or the root, source, and essential kinship between culture in its general, macro, and comprehensive sense, with art and artistry, and creative, innovative, and artistic movements and actions. Human should be examined and articulated in the creation of secondary reality, as a work of art form. In other words, the issue is this: What is the connection between human cultural behaviors and artistic tendencies and actions, and his sphere of aesthetic experiences? Is the relation and kinship formal and incidental, or related to the roots, source, and substance? Is it coexistence and nature? Or coexisting and formal and incidental and different from each other? Is Man first a cultural person and then an artist, or first an artist and then a cultural person? Or is the relationship between human culture and artistry not the relationship between two separate principles, but rather, complementary and supporting one another? Culture in the general, macro, and comprehensive sense encompasses all the perceptual shields and lived experiences and the existential openness of man in the world. The relationship between culture, such as the openness of existence with art and artistry, and human creative and innovative movements and actions, is essential and based on coexistence and is inherent. There are two sides of the same coin. Of course, culture includes art, and art is specific to the cultural openness of man in the world. In other words, art and artistry and creative actions and taste and aesthetic experiences of man such as religion and lived experiences and man’s perceptions of the sacred, divine, sublime, and beyond such as the skills and technological and practical practices of man such as thinking, wisdom, and scholarship of all examples and manifestations and the signs of the existential openness of humans include and are cultural beings. Culture is also defined as cultural heritage. There is unity and unity between them. They are not connected like screws and nuts and inanimate pieces of metal. Reducing culture and its institutions and phenomena to mere mechanical systems conflicts with the vital coexistence of living, constructive elements, and humanity’s cultural presence and openness in the world. In simple clear language, every culture is a living, dynamic and creative ecosystem, and landscape. There is unity and continuity among its constituent parts, elements, and members. Human actors, possessing thought, will, determination, and emotion, always play a central, constructive, creative, and “poetic” role in the emergence and unfolding of any culture.
