Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This intriguing philosophical work explores the nature of beauty, examining its manifestations in various forms, from the physical to the spiritual. It draws upon ancient Greek thought, particularly the ideas of Plato and Plotinus, to discuss the relationship between beauty and truth, virtue, and the divine. The author argues that beauty is not merely a subjective experience but has an objective reality that can be perceived and understood through intellectual inquiry. By examining the different levels of beauty, ascending from the corporeal to the intelligible, the book offers insights into the nature of reality itself, providing a profound exploration of aesthetics that will appeal to philosophers, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the nature of beauty and its significance in human experience.
