Summary
Details

Liber De Pulcritudine (On Beauty) is a compilation of classical texts on aesthetics and the nature of beauty, primarily drawing from the works of Proclus, Plotinus, and Nicephorus Chumnus. Written in Latin, this volume provides a valuable resource for understanding Neoplatonic thought and its profound influence on Western philosophical and artistic traditions.

The text explores fundamental questions about the essence of beauty, its manifestations in the natural world, and its role in the human experience. Readers will encounter intricate arguments and insightful perspectives on the relationship between beauty, truth, and the divine. This edition offers scholars and students a direct engagement with seminal texts that have shaped aesthetic theory for centuries. The enduring appeal of these classical thinkers ensures that ""Liber De Pulcritudine"" remains a significant contribution to the study of philosophy and art.
