DESCRIPTION

Beauty: The Fortunes of an Ancient Greek Idea (Onassis Series in Hellenic Culture)

What does it mean to say something is beautiful? On the one hand, beauty is associated with erotic

attraction on the other, it is the primary category in aesthetics, and it is widely supposed that the proper

response to a work of art is one of objective contemplation. At its core, then,beauty is a contested

concept, and both sides feel comfortable appealing to the authority of Plato, and via him, to the ancient

Greeks generally. So, who is right-if either?Beauty offers an elegant investigation of ancient Greek

notions of beauty and, in the process, sheds light on how we ought to appreciate the artistic

achievements of the classical world. The book opens by reexamining the commonly held notion that the

ancient Greeks possessed no term that can beunambiguously defined as &quotbeaty&quotor

&quotbeatiful.&quotAuthor David Konstan discusses a number of Greek approximations before

positioning the heretofore unexamined term k&#225llo as the key to bridging the gap between beauty

and desire, and tracing its evolution as applied to physical beauty, art,literature, and more. The book then

examines corresponding terms in Biblical Hebrew and ancient Latin literature to highlight the survival of

Greek ideas in the Latin West. The final chapter compares the ancient Greek conception of beauty with

modern notions of beauty and aesthetics. In particular,it focuses on the reception of classical Greek art in

the Renaissance and how Vasari and his contemporaries borrowed from Plato the sense that the beauty

in art was transcendental, but left out the erotic dimension of viewing. Even if Greece was the inspiration

for modern aesthetic ideals, thisstudy illustrates how the Greek view of the relationship between beauty

and desire was surprisingly consistent-and different from our own. This fascinating and magisterial

exploration makes it possible to identify how the Greeks thought of beauty, what it was that attracted

them, and what theirperceptions can still tell us about art, love, desire-and beauty.
