Theaoesthetics. 7 Lectures on Beauty

In what language should we talk about the experience of the Divine today? At what point do the most pressing problems of modern humanity and the living theological questioning converge? The author of the book, the outstanding contemporary philosopher and... theologian Alexander Filonenko, sees this place at the intersection of three crucial aspects of human experience – beauty, communication, and gratitude. In the book, with the warmth, wit, and empathy characteristic of the author, one of the main directions of contemporary theology – theoesthetics, or the theology of beauty – is narrated. The theoesthetic perspective turns out to be a treasured key to a new theological understanding of the most important aspects of our lives.
