Prophets in the West's Secular Temples

We all like Art don't we? What is it about art that appeals to us? I don't think that beauty is the sole reason. Great Art, or the most appealing art, strikes something deep in our psyche. Good art also engenders as many opinions as there are people who view it. (or read it or listen to it). The Financial Times has a fascinating piece on the subject. I have previosly recommended the Saturday FT Arts section. It is always marvelously written and unpredicably good.
