Synopsis
Excerpt from Oeuvres Complètes de M. Le Vicomte de Chateaubriand, Pair de France, Membre de l'Académie Françoise, Vol. 15
Au reste, je ne suis point, comme Rousseau, un enthousiaste des Sauvages; et quoique j'aie peut - être autant à me plaindre de la société que ce philosophe avoit à, s'en louer, je ne crois point que la pure na ture soit la plus belle chose du monde. Je l'ai toujours trouvée fort laide, partout où j'ai en occasion de la voir. Bien loin 'être d'opinion que l'homme qui pense soit un animal depmvé je crois que c'est la pensée qui fait l'homme. Avec ce mot de nature, ou a tout perdu. Peignons la nature, mais la belle nature l'art ne doit pas s'occuper de l'imitation des monstres.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the essence of Christianity, the ways in which Christian tradition and dogma have been reflected in painting, architecture, and literature, and the social and personal benefits that the philosophy provides. The author argues that the Catholic Church has been a force for good in the world, providing aid to the poor and sick, supporting the arts, and preserving knowledge during the Dark Ages. The book delves deeply into biblical mysteries and sacraments, and explores how a divine religion is impossible without mysteries, and how beauty is impossible without secrets. The author draws comparisons between Christian art and artists and their pagan counterparts, demonstrating that in nearly every case, Christian art and artistic expression is superior in both beauty and depth of meaning. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
