Beschreibung:
Gabriel Pihas is the academic director at the Rome Institute of Liberal Arts and a tutor in the Integral Program of the Liberal Arts at St. Mary's College of California.
This volume uses the art of Rome to help us understand the radical historical break between the fundamental ancient pre-supposition that there is a natural world or cosmos situating human life, and the equally fundamental modern emphasis on human imagination and its creative power.
