Excerpt Chapter IV: Can engagement with art make us better people?

Chapter IV (The Arts Humanize) excerpt:

"People involved in art are provided with opportunities to absorb, intentionally or by osmosis of the aesthetic, the characteristics of the beautiful thing that disrupts normal life and normal perceptions. In this absorption, they may sense what it is like to be more inwardly beautiful people." 

Chapter IV of U.S. Crisis: Art, Education and Society deals with questions such as "Who are artists?," "What do composers compose?", "How does engagement with art help us form a sense of life?",  "What does music teach?', "How does art teach the truth about the human condition?", "What music is Best for us?".
