The Meditative Beauty of Reading (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Part philosophical treatise, part spiritual meditation, this short work looks at reading from the point of view of subjective experience: how it enlivens the imagination and even provides an alternate world. The author includes personal anecdote, but focuses on a general aesthetic of the reading experience. There are aesthetic ruminations, consideration of the spiritual dimension of reading, and a brief comparison to other art forms. The general sphere of literature, philosophy and religious works are included for this investigation. It is hoped the reader will be equally instructed and entertained!

Autor

Quiet academic type from North West England. BA English, MA Renaissance Literature. I studied in exile by the rivers of Babylon for 3 years, aka Cambridge. And I descended into Egypt, aka PricewaterhouseCoopers. Now I live in a spiritual hermitage where I study literature, philosophy and religion. I am a Roman Catholic convert, and particularly find spiritual fulfilment in the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Liturgy of the Hours. Beer, wine, and spirits are my three branches of government. I am currently especially interested in French and Italian red. Philosophy is really the driving force of my life, and I always seek to question and open up new vistas on being. From Classical ethics to Medieval metaphysics to existentialism, I like to run the gamut of philosophical thought. Poetry is an abiding passion of mine. Finally, a list of books I hold very close to my heart: Augustine, 'Confessions'; Bonaventure, 'Journey of the Mind to God'; Dante, 'The Divine Comedy'; Plato, 'Phaedrus'; Cervantes, 'Don Quixote'; 'The Bhagavad Gita', & of course, 'The Bible'.
