Faces of Beauty
Bruno Forte, the introduction of his paper The door of Beauty - For theological aesthetics (Brescia, Morcelliana Editrice, 1999. Citations p. 8, 12, 27, 47, 53, 76, 142) says: "Approaching this unique contribution to the meditation on beauty, without being exhaustive, due to partial approaches distributed in time and relationships between time, is the purpose of this book. It does not repeat the history of aesthetics or a theory general it could be said from this modern form of discipline, but explores other paths, the contribution those deep, though often not clear, the concept of theological reflection and the experience of beauty.

Augustine, Thomas , Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, Evdokimov, von Balthasar as many voices will be summoned to testify that contribution, to be able to - that will emerge into the light - Groped interpretations of the events of the beauty that can offer in music, film, poetry, to show - 'in limine' - the mysterious bond that unites the latest beauty, quiet threshold, where there more than ever the boundary question to be crossed from one side and they open the swing doors of Beauty ...". Based on this assumption, strong traces of an X-ray varied faces of beauty, in part because it bears a theological vision but also really intriguing. Unfortunately, we are in trouble - harassed by a drastic shortage of space - and we just have to list this time, not being able to draw on the themes introduced by the authors cited.

"

Von Balthasar insists that beauty now lost: "In a world without beauty ... even the good has lost its appeal, the evidence of his having to be fulfilled ... In a world that does not believe in its capacity to express beauty, the arguments in favor of truth have exhausted their power of logical conclusion. "Evdokimov, metaphysical divine light, outlines the categories of aesthetics:" The power of love God contains the Universe and Chaos is the Cosmos, Beauty. Normally, every living thing has tended towards the Sun of Divine Beauty ... In essence, man is created with the thirst for beauty, he is thirsty because this 'image of God'.
