Bonaventure: education for beauty in the knowledge of the world and of God - doi: 10.4025/actascieduc.v36i1.22268
| Resumo: | In the Middle Ages, the increasing autonomy on the nature of Beauty may be defined by three aspects that underscore the speculative approach on the concept: first, the Neoplatonic root in strict relationship with the Good (kalon); second, the Augustinian approach with its relationship between species and order, the factors that shine in created Beauty from the original divine source; third, the interpretation that predominated within Scholasticism and which gave to Beauty its transcendental beauty and established an intellectual distinction between the pulchrum and the bonum. Current research analyzes St Bonaventure´s position on the three perspectives and foregrounds the elaboration of the concept as from ‘light’ as a substantial form which traces a transcendental pedagogical scheme in which concepts and light bring accession modes to the knowledge of the world and its divine causal origin. |
