Belinsky compares the art of living with the human body, and argues that a vital condition for the existence of art is a living thought. A man - a creature that is aware of itself, able to look at myself from the outside.Art can not exist without a spiritual foundation.Therefore, the connection between art and thought much more deeply and unconditionally, than even the human relationship with the idea, because, being a creation of man, it exists only by relying on the idea, it gave rise to.Therefore, Belinsky aphorism may be understood with a certain position, saying that without thought impossible not only the existence of a living art, but also his appearance.
