Abstract

This is a study of the aesthetic experience of the arts as the principal paths into the depth or religious dimension.  The aesthetic and the religious are considered from the point of view of Heidegger's philosophy.  Whitehead's theory of perception is used to clarify the detailed operations of the aesthetic experience.  Music, painting, literature and architecture are studied with reference to how they not only lure us into participation with the religious dimension but interpret that dimension.  [Abstract from The Philosopher’s Index]
