Doorway to Artistry: Attuning Your Philosophy to Enhance Your Creativity by Esth

Description: Doorway to Artistry by Esther Lightcap Meek, Makoto Fujimura, Martyn Smith Your artistry involves you intimately with the world around and beyond you. So your artistry involves profound but simple philosophical matters. As a human person, you are artful and philosophical, at the core of your being. Doorway to Artistry offers a playful, everyday philosophical approach necessary for life, integration, healing, and thriving in artistry. It reflects on the real and how we are involved with it, especially in our creative effort. In short, the real hospitably welcomes us, and in our artistry we reciprocate in noble courtesy. Human persons were made for this communion with the real. Find in this book a hospitable welcome to belong at home beyond where you are. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Esther Lightcap Meek is professor of philosophy emeritus at Geneva College.

She has written extensively on the philosophy of knowledge and her work focuses on the value of philosophy for everyday life. Review "I cant remember ever using the word rollicking to describe a work of philosophy. In Doorway to Artistry, Esther Meek has (once again!) rolled up the heavy rug of academic language and invited us all over to dance in her living room." --Dawn Cerny, adjunct professor of art, art history, and design, Seattle University "At the fertile intersection of what earlier scholars called the contemplative and the active modes of life, Esther Meek has laid an extravagant feast. With Doorway to Artistry, she models a new, munificent style of scholarship for the whole human person, offering from her apparently boundless generosity an invitation to be led in a familiar yet unexpected direction: homeward." --Pete Candler, author of The Road to Unforgetting "For decades, Esther Meek has been practicing philosophical therapy to free us from the modern picture that holds us captive, a picture that estranges us from the abundance of reality. Meek proposes we make contact with reality through artful discovery that strains toward festal communion. We know Meeks delightful new book hits reality because it leaves us with, in a favorite phrase from Michael Polanyi, an unspecifiable sense of an inexhaustive range of indeterminate future manifestations." --Peter Leithart, president, Theopolis Institute "Esther Meeks new book warmly enacts the very welcome into reality it proposes to teach and treats the reader like an honored guest. Deeply philosophical without ever losing contact with the most ordinary, concrete things of daily life, these festive meditations will not only inspire artists, but will inspire everyone else to become artists. This will be a book one feels lucky to have discovered--and then immediately sends as a gift to friends." --D. C. Schindler, professor of metaphysics and anthropology, The John Paul II Institute Details ISBN1666769681 Author Martyn Smith Year 2023 Illustrator Martyn Smith ISBN-13 9781666769685 Format Paperback Subtitle Attuning Your Philosophy to Enhance Your Creativity Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2023-07-01 NZ Release Date 2023-07-01 UK Release Date 2023-07-01 Pages 248 Audience General Publication Date 2023-06-15 US Release Date 2023-06-15 DEWEY 700.1 Illustrations Illustrations, unspecified Publisher Cascade Books Imprint Cascade Books We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
