Contents:
Part One : Beauty -- A preliminary definition -- Beauty and being -- Beauty and excellence, goodness, and value -- Beauty : the key to order and unity in the system of being -- Part Two : Beauty and the divine being -- Beauty among the divine perfections -- Beauty and the Trinity -- Beauty and the divine.
Subject: This illuminating analysis of Jonathan Edwards' philosophical-theological-ethical program focuses on his concept of beauty as our central clue to the nature of reality and the life of God. Delattre shows that beauty not only provides Edwards with a model for the manner of divine governance but operates throughout his thought as both the goal and means of redemption. Essential to his understanding of the operation of beauty as the law of moral order is Edwards' aesthetic/affectional model of the self, which corresponds to his aesthetic articulation of the system of being and good. Thus the distinguishing mark of Edwards' theology-his elevation to centrality of both the primary beauty of being's cordial consent to being and the secondary beauty of harmony and proportion-is shown to be the key to his interpretation of the dynamics of the moral and spiritual life.
