    Stephen supports his aesthetic theory or his theory of art and the artist's place in society with the classical teachings of aquinas, plato, and aristotle. Stephen delinates between the art that envokes an emotional or soulful response and the art that is purely physical. Stephen states that the emotional or the art that is involved in the mind or contemplation is the higher art, and the physical art is low art. He goes on to describe the process of art, like a creation, comparing it to when God created man. Stephen also suggests that the artist actually becomes part of the art he creates. In the end he states that he must alienate himself from Ireland or society to become an artist, suggesting that artists need to isolation.
