    • Abstract:
      The article analyzes the viewpoint that art is like science that provides knowledge on the nature of reality. The proposition is rejected by scientists and logical positivists, asserting their view that cognitive experience must be accounted to science. Thinkers in the early age like Aristotle and Plato asserted that art offers something about the true nature of the real world. Based on history, art is related to religion. However, reality has a changing concept, with the assumption that man obtain knowledge about the external world by scientific observation, experiment and mathematics. The author claims that all knowledge about the external world is acquired through experience.
