Saint Augustine, Beauty, perception, experienceAbstract
It is unquestionable that, for St. Augustine, Beauty it is an Absolute that, besides being at the foundation of all reality, impregnates Creation with its mark, inviting Man to explore it and arrive finally at its discovery. But such a discovery is not immediate; rather, it supposes the transition through certain human levels of perception. The present paper will concern itself, therefore, with these perceptive moments of the beautiful in Man, yet analyzed from the particular point of view ofthe De Vera Religione.References
