According to the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, a world
that has lost sight of beauty is a world riddled with skepticism,
moral and aesthetic relativism, conflicting religious worldviews,
and escalating ecological crises. In The Eclipse and Recovery of
Beauty, John D. Dadosky uses Kierkegaard and Nietzsche's negative
aesthetics to outline the context of that loss, and presents an
argument for reclaiming beauty as a metaphysical property of being.
Inspired by Bernard Lonergan's philosophy of consciousness, Dadosky
presents a philosophy of beauty that is grounded in contemporary
Thomistic thought. Responding to Balthasar, he argues for a concept
of beauty that can be experienced, understood, judged, created,
contemplated, and even loved. Deeply engaged with the work of
Aquinas, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Kant, among others, The
Eclipse and Recovery of Beauty will be essential reading for those
interested in contemporary philosophy and theology.
