Juxtaposing theology and science poetry and mysticism Eco explores the relationship that existed between the aesthetic theories and the artistic experience and practice of medieval culture. Eco's slim volume though 20 years old remains fresh and useful in this highly readable translation. Eco moves swiftly and surely from Boethius to Meister Eckhart from subtle conceptual distinctions to broad historical and sociological syntheses. The book reflects the moment of its composition the heyday of phenomenology in its search for the intuitive dimensions in aesthetic experience. Eco's study will serve students of aesthetics in general and medieval aesthetics in particular who need a brief but accurate introduction to a vast field while students of Eco's own thinking will profit from a glance at the scholastic background to Eco's work on semiotics. - Library Journal -- with a bonus offer--; 520-ecoum; Eco Umberto ; Hugh Bredin Translator Art and Beauty in the Middle Ages ART MEDIEVAL AESTHETICS HISTORY PHILOSOPHY authoritative lively book the celebrated Italian novelist and philosopher Umberto Eco presents a learned summary of medieval aesthetic . 2002. 0300093047 .
