Art & Scholasticism

Art & Scholasticism by Maritain, Jacques. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781944418106.

Art and Scholasticism is Jacques Maritain’s classic argument for an objective view of both art and the artist. Maritain provides a strong dissenting perspective on the lazy, self-flattering artistic assumptions of the past two centuries. For this new edition, Brian Barbour’s Introduction gives a fascinating summary of Maritain’s philosophical background, his conversion to Catholicism and work in Thomistic thought, and the importance of Art and Scholasticism in understanding aesthetics—be it in poetry, painting, music, or literature. Art and Scholasticism is a must-read for lovers of art and wisdom alike. See our other books at www.clunymedia.com!
