Publisher's Synopsis
The True and The Beautiful in Nature, Art, Morals and Religion is a philosophical work by John Ruskin that explores the relationship between truth and beauty in various aspects of life. Ruskin examines the way in which the natural world reflects divine truth and beauty, and how this is reflected in art, morals, and religion. He argues that the pursuit of beauty, truth, and goodness is essential for a meaningful and fulfilling life, and that these values are interconnected and cannot be separated. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of this relationship: nature, art, morals, and religion. Ruskin draws on examples from literature, art, and philosophy to illustrate his arguments, and provides a rich and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of truth and beauty. The True and The Beautiful in Nature, Art, Morals and Religion is a classic work of philosophy that continues to inspire and challenge readers to this day.1872. This volume contains a selection of John Ruskin's works. Some of the topics in Ruskin's larger works discussed are merely local (English) and not specially interesting to the American public. A rich field, however, remains from which these selections have been carefully culled and methodically arranged to form a book complete in itself. For the choice and arrangement alone, the editor is responsible; the author speaks for himself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
