Synopsis:
This is a reconstruction of the medieval mind and particularly of the medieval ideas of art and beauty. In this volume Eco explores the richness, breadth and originality of the aesthetic theories advanced by Thomas Aquinas, a theologian of repute in the Middle Ages. Eco sets the stage with a vivid account of the aesthetic and artistic sensibility that flourished in medieval times. The author looks at Aquinas' reflections on God, mankind, music, poetry and literature and shows how centuries later Thomas Aquinas' concept of beauty emerged in the writings of the young James Joyce. Umberto Eco also wrote "The Name of the Rose".
