For each art Münsterberg names in Chapter VIII (sculpture, painting, literature, theatre, music), what does he say it removes from practical life and by what formal means, and which arts does the chapter set aside?

The chapter treats each art briefly and unevenly. Sculpture selects one position and drops background and motion; painting is flat and keeps only leading movements; the poet uses unnatural rhythm and rhyme; the short story must make its imaginary status clear by its form of description; the stage, whose material is real people a few feet away, is separated from practical life by its artificial setting and the lighted proscenium before a dark house; music uses tones that belong to no practical action and shows the inner world. He sets aside architecture and the applied arts and says he could trace more means but will not. The means are mostly deliberate departures from reality, not techniques of craft. 'Means' is defined only later, at the opening of Chapter IX.
