| Summary |
"The book promotes aesthetic personalism in addressing three domains of aesthetics - the philosophy of beauty, aesthetic experience, and philosophy of art - through the lens of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, theistic Hinduism, and the all-seeing Compassionate Buddha. These religious traditions provide an inclusive, overarching God's eye or ideal point of view that can create an emancipatory appreciation of beauty and goodness, a recognition of the reality and value of the aesthetic experience of persons, and deepen the experience of artworks. The invisibility of persons and God are contrasted. The traditional belief that God or the sacred is invisible does not mean God or the sacred cannot be experienced through visual and other sensory or unique modes. The assumption that human persons are thoroughly visible or observable in all respects to we non-ideal observers ignores the ways in which racism and other forms of bias render persons invisible to others"-- Provided by publisher |
