Consideration is given to how art can offer an experience of being known to oneself, and of being known in relation to what philosophers since Georg Hegel (1770–1831) have described as “the Other.” This leads on to an exploration of how the various nuances of an aesthetic experience can support and extend the possibilities for spiritual care.</p></div></div>
