Summary

This quote emphasizes the interconnectedness of art and philosophy and asserts that both disciplines rely on each other for their full expression and understanding.

The quote suggests that beauty itself would suffer in a world where art and philosophy are separated, as they both contribute to the exploration and appreciation of beauty in different ways.
