A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Beauty is the crowning glory of all things; yet few subjects have been so much misrepre sented. Hence the importance and the need of explaining the nature of beauty and of refuting the false theories advanced in regard to it. To do this is the purpose of the following pages. The study of beauty is, however, beset with peculiar difficulties. For beauty is essentially something spiritual embodied ordinarily in sen sible objects. On this account, it readily escapes observation or is confounded with what is sen sible. This is why even philosophers have de vised so many false theories of the beautiful. But there have been philosophers, such as A ris totle, Cicero, St. A ugustine, andS t. Thomas, who, by their singular penetration and mature judgment, have eminently qualified themselves to be our masters in the study of this subject. In this treatise we shall follow their example and pass, step by step, from what is evident and on the surface to what is less evident and more sci entific.
