The author has done his homework, understood all the relevant medieval nuances of the subject, and has clearly explained and readably expressed Aquinas' major points directly and succinctly. Sevier demonstrates how Aquinas' aesthetic follows from and presupposes his metaphysics and cosmology, and clarifies the contrasts between Aquinas and modern theories of beauty. This book will be a touchstone for all subsequent investigations ofAesthetics, MedievalAesthetics, Medieval.111/.85092Sevier Christopher Scott1527738MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797189703321Aquinas on beauty3770855UNINA
