In this volume, Charles Taliaferro and Jil Evans promote aesthetic
personalism by examining three domains of aesthetics - the
philosophy of beauty, aesthetic experience, and philosophy of art -
through the lens of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, theistic
Hinduism, and the all-seeing Compassionate Buddha. These religious
traditions assume an inclusive, overarching God's eye, or ideal
point of view, that can create an emancipatory appreciation of
beauty and goodness. This appreciation also recognizes the reality
and value of the aesthetic experience of persons and deepens the
experience of art works. The authors also explore and contrast the
invisibility of persons and God. The belief that God or the sacred
is invisible does not mean God or the sacred cannot be experienced
through visual and other sensory or unique modes. Conversely, the
assumption that human persons are thoroughly visible, or observable
in all respects, ignores how racism and other forms of bias render
persons invisible to others.
