In Toward a Theology of Beauty, Father Navone explains that the Creator, Happiness Itself, knows truth and loves goodness and delights in beauty; consequently, whatever proceeds from the Creator - all creation - is knowable, lovable, and enjoyable. We can therefore see the Creator in the truth and goodness and beauty of all things, and we can have communion with Happiness Itself in knowing and loving and delighting in all things.\u003cbr\u003e\nFather Navone uses basic points of reference, such as divine revelation and Jesus' farewell discourse, to explore a theology of beauty. Chapters are Creation and the Beauty of all Things,\" \"In the Image and Likeness of Beauty Itself,\" \"The Power of Beauty,\" \"Beauty: God's Delight,\" \"In the Light of God's Beauty,\" \"The Christian Experience of Beauty,\" and\" Theology of Beauty: Sum of Presuppositions.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nAll those interested in the Catholic tradition's approach to the splendor\/glory of the divine beauty in human life will find this book rewarding. It communicates a theological appreciation of our graced ability to contemplate the divine beauty in all things. Toward a Theology of Beauty leads us to the joy of Christian contemplation - to delight in the splendor of the divine love in all things.\u003cbr\u003e\nJohn Navone, S.J., is professor of theology at the Gregorian University in Rome and at the Seattle University summer school.

InThe Musical Representation, Charles Nussbaum offers a philosophical naturalist's solution. Nussbaum founds his naturalistic theory of musical representation on the collusion between the physics of sound and the organization of the human mind-brain. He argues that important varieties of experience afforded by Western tonal art music since 1650 arise through the feeling of tone, the sense of movement in musical space, cognition, emotional arousal, and the engagement, by way of specific emotional responses, of deeply rooted human ideals. Construing the art music of the modern West as representational, as a symbolic system that carries extramusical content, Nussbaum attempts to make normative principles of musical representation explicit and bring them into reflective equilibrium with the intuitions of competent listeners. The human mind-brain, writes Nussbaum, is a living record of its evolutionary history; relatively recent cognitive acquisitions derive from older representational functions of which we are hardly aware. Consideration of musical art can help bring to light the more ancient cognitive functions that underlie modern human cognition., ISBN13: 9780262140966 ISBN10: 0262140969 Material Type: hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46126580138147,"sku":"P.23.5 F_05-27-25_H0000H6I","price":23.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/51nbaS05hWL.jpg?v=1754894564"}],"url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/collections\/philosophy-aesthetics.oembed","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
