One would liken the unambiguously rational in the fugues of J.S. Bach to an age that produced them. One of enlightened humanist science. The laws of the universe were consonant with the ongoing perfection of mankind’s rational power.
Today, on the other hand there is a disjunction between any basis for art or poetry, in the broad sense, from cohering with science. They have become thereby stultified into hermetically sealed pipelines. Forever bifurcated the gulf only widens between art and science. For a portion of human society to leave behind this planet, this separation must be annealed. In particular, this pertains to the psychical wholeness required for the intensity of purpose of space faring pioneers.
This sometimes is likened to the hybrid “technologized“ human individual. Indeed, lesser animal functions themselves will likewise be optimized via breakthroughs in applied technology including gene editing in proteomic science. Enhancement of senses will follow with increasing health. This will necessitate the production of great beauty that inspires creativity.
For example, view Beethoven’s late works in this regard. Boldly non conformist and wonderfully befitting the human power to celebrate creative beauty. That very creativity is at it’s foundation concomitant with advances in science. It constantly reorders art to a higher plateau of truthfulness. Continuous creative transformative technological development requires problem solving qualities above all else. Heightened talent to produce hypotheses about potential advances in research.
Listening to the conducting by Furtwangler of Beethoven's last Lenore Overture makes this very explicit.
