Use the paragraph to answer. How are the values of the Hellenistic world reflected in its politics, philosophy, and art?

Both the emotional drama of Greek theater and the sensory appeal of its music reveal a growing tendency in the culture to value emotional expression at least as much as, and sometimes more than, the balanced harmonies of Classical art. During the Hellenistic age in the fourth and third centuries BCE, the truths that the culture increasingly sought to understand were less idealistic and universal, and more and more empirical and personal. This shift is especially evident in the new empirical philosophy of Aristotle (384-322 BCE), whose investigation into the workings of the real world supplanted, or at least challenged, Plato's idealism. In many ways, however, the ascendancy of this new aesthetic standard can be attributed to the daring, the audacity, and the sheer awe-inspiring power of a single figure, Alexander of Macedonia, known as Alexander the Great (356–323 BCE). Alexander aroused the emotions and captured the imagination not just of a theatrical audience, but of an entire people-perhaps even the entire Western world- and created a legacy that established Hellenic Greece as the model against which all other cultures in the West had to measure themselves.
