Publisher's Synopsis
""A Dialogue On Beauty: In The Manner Of Plato (1731)"" is a book written by George Stubbes, which presents a philosophical discussion on the topic of beauty in the style of Plato's dialogues. The book is structured as a conversation between two characters, Theogenes and Euthydemus, who explore various aspects of beauty, including its definition, its relation to morality, and its role in art and nature. The dialogue is influenced by the ideas of classical philosophy, particularly Plato's theory of Forms, and also draws on the writings of prominent thinkers of the time, such as Francis Bacon and John Locke. Through their discussion, the characters ultimately arrive at a deeper understanding of the nature of beauty and its significance in human experience. The book is considered a significant work in the history of aesthetics and an important contribution to the ongoing philosophical discourse on beauty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
