Greek and Roman Aesthetics. - BYCHKOV, O.V., and A. SHEPPARD, (eds. and transls.),

KORTE INHOUD

'This volume is useful not only for intellectual history. Some texts are relatively self-sufficient and continuous, such as Aristides Quintilianus? twelve-page argument that 'we should educate the young through music,' or Plotinus? long proof that 'the soul?s becoming something good and beautiful is becoming like God.' The best point to make is that this collection serves especially well as a record that there were channels and pools of arguments about beauty, emotion, and grace that we can hardly any longer see, and that our time might be well spent reconstructing, guessing at, and trying to make sense of them.' (CHRISTOPHER MOORE in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2011.03.38).
