It seems weird to me to compare art and science. I would rather compare the academic humanities to the sciences, since they claim to produce knowledge and it seems more straight-forward to make the comparison. People learn Newtonian physics from new accounts, but they still learn Kantian ethics and metaphysics from Kant.
