AGAMBEN AND THE QUESTION OF AESTHETICS 11 of art) is inherently part of a broader form of life. To quote Wittgenstein once more, we could say that ,ethics and aesthetics are one and the same." According to Agamben the greatest enigma of art is that we do not know why we need art in the first place. Humans are not only thinking and talking animals, but also creatures that create artworks and find enjoyment in them too. Agamben’s own answer as to what art is good for is not aesthetic but fundamentally ethical: art is inseparably part of the happy life. ° Wittgenstein, ibid, 86 (6.421)
