Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This non-fiction work explores the concept that the lack of widespread artistic appreciation is the underlying root cause of current social issues. The author argues that artistic development and expression have been compromised since the time of the ancient Greeks. In Greece, the author purports that art and beauty were foundational to the well-being of society and the state and that beauty was believed to be an essential component of human flourishing. He cites examples from ancient Greece to demonstrate how integration of the artistic, intellectual and moral elements of human nature resulted in great societal success. Comparing the Greek model with the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and even with our own era, the author finds that modern society fails to place a significant value on art or to understand its importance in human life. The insights in this book suggest that prioritizing the development of artistic sensibilities could resolve many of the social and moral issues that plague us today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
