The work of art and the "possibility of singularity"
 

Hayot 74: "[T]he work of art demands nothing less from us than does a person; they both ask us to approach them as, among other things, illustrations of the very possibility of singularity, and thus as resolutons of the larger epistemological, ethical, and social questions of how we relate particularities to generalities, phenomena to concepts, or individuals to society."
