Interdisciplinary Perspective of Logic

The idea that "structure" determines our perception of form has influenced art theory and literary criticism, and artistic logic overall. 

Art is expressive; art is sometimes intuitive, but art also has logic underneath. Applied logic studies the practical art of correct reasoning, which may use logical principles alone or involve nonlogical concepts, such as epistemic or normative notions. 

The study of art can be seen through the lens of logic, especially when considering the philosophy of art and its intersection with aesthetics.

Art and Aesthetic Experience: The philosophy of art has begun to overshadow the philosophy of natural beauty, as art provides a distinctive illustration of aesthetic interest. Art's increasing importance in a world where spiritual significance is rare highlights the need for a theory that attributes more than just enjoyment to aesthetic experience, explaining the profound impact art has, offering meaning and solace.

Form and Structure in Art: The appreciation of art relies on perceiving unities and feeling the inherent order within a sequence, which is fundamental to understanding art, whether abstract or representational. The study of artistic form involves studying our perception of form, with Gestalt psychologists influencing our understanding of pictures.

The idea that "structure" determines our perception of form has influenced art theory and literary criticism, and artistic logic overall.  Structuralist critics have attempted to perceive the unity of literary works in terms of literary units that are varied and transposed, making the work a logical derivation from its parts.
