Description

Beauty, Art, and the Polis by Alice Ramos explores the relationship between beauty, art, and morality within the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition. This collection of essays offers an alternative to modern subjectivism, instead grounding the beautiful in human freedom and creativity. The contributors to this volume engage with contemporary conceptions of the beautiful, seeking a middle ground that balances universal standards with subjective experience. By examining the role of beauty in human existence, education, and life as a moral and political being, these essays represent a decisive step in the "journey for Thomistic aesthetics." Through its exploration of the natural order and its relationship to art and morality, Beauty, Art, and the Polis provides insight into the enduring significance of beauty in modern thought.
