Product Details
Only the Lover Sings: Art and Contemplation was written by Josef Pieper. Only the Lover Sings illuminates how modern people can rediscover how to open their eyes to participate in beauty to feel fully human. The reader comes to understand the relationship between contemplation and artistic vision from reading Only the Lover Sings. No only is seeing the physical reality essential, but Only the Lover Sings explores how to wonder at it and love it whether it be visual, musical, or literary giving the reader a new way to be fully human.
Only the Lover Sings is written by one of the greatest philosophical thinkers of the twentieth century. A New York Times review of Only the Lover Sings states, “Pieper’s message for us is plain…The idolatry of the machine, the worship of mindless know-how, the infantile cult of youth and the common mind-all this points to our peculiar leadership in the drift toward the slave society…Pieper’s profound insights are impressive and even formidable.” Only the Lover Sings expresses succinctly that the foundation of the human person in society is leisure, free time in which one can contemplate, be receptive to being and its beauty.
