Product Description

Neoplatonic Aesthetics: Music, Literature, and the Visual Arts explores the idea of a Neoplatonic aesthetic, a philosophy of the arts based on the writings of Plato and the Neoplatonists - principally Plotinus, Proclus, Pseudo-Dionysius, Nicolas Cusanus, and Marsilio Ficino - and more contemporary philosophers - Stephen MacKenna, Iris Murdoch, Denman Ross, Jacques Derrida, and Hans Georg Gadamer. This book examines the artistic production of figures such as Gioseffe Zarlino, Fra Angelico, Leon Battista Alberti, Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Giorgio Vasari, and it formulates theoretical approaches to contemporary production based in the Neoplatonic philosophies.

Scholars of philosophy and the arts explore how the ideas of various neoplatonists play out in the three branches of art. Among their perspectives are the art of flute playing in Proclus, metaphysics as hermeneutics in the aesthetics of Plotinus, and Michelangelo's artistic captivity as mirrored in his neoplatonic Captives . The 16 essays are from a June 2003 conference in Florence, Italy. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
