The author suggests that art affects us:

a. esthetically and empathically, allowing us to simultaneously gain insight from and be emotionally involved in an experience

b. in a deeply intellectual way, allowing us to be stimulated in a logical way without involving emotions.
c. as a practical insight into the lives of human beings, allowing us to see the world as a psychologist would study human behavior in a laboratory experiment.
d. similarly to sporting events, allowing us to root for a player or character because of our feelings for and knowledge of this character even before the play begins.
