For John Henry Newman, religion is animated by an imaginative
'master vision' which 'supplies the mind with spiritual life and
peace'. All his life, Newman reflected on this 'master vision'. His
reflections on the moral imagination developed out of his
understanding of practical wisdom, as characterized by Aristotle -
the wisdom that 'the good man' has in living a good life. For
Newman, the vision at the core of religion completes and perfects
the intuitions of the conscience. John Henry Newman and the
Imagination looks at how Newman's thinking about the moral and
visionary imagination developed over the course of his life; it
relates that thinking to his portrayals of religious experience,
and vision, in his novels and his poetry. It presents fresh
insights into the thought of one of the greatest visionaries of the
Victorian age.
