Detailed explanation-1: -Stephen defines art as, “the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end” (182). The implications of this statement will be fully examined in the next section, but, for now, the latter part of this definition is especially significant: the esthetic end.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stephen’s theory here is thus amoral – he seems to believe in art for arts’ sake. In the next section Stephen defines art: art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matters for an aesthetic end. Truth and beauty are recognized by Stephen as by Keats, to be akin.
Detailed explanation-3: -What makes art such an appealing escape for Stephen? For Stephen, art offers an escape from the constraints of religion, family, school, and country. Constrained by his surroundings and even his own self-imposed restraints, he looks to art as an independent, abstract realm where he can create a world that suits him.
