Abstract

RAMIREZ AGUIRRE, Jorge Iván. AN AESTHETIC LIGHT: UNDERSTANDING THE PHENOMENON OF BEAUTY AS REVELATION AND THE CONSEQUENCE IT BEARS. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2012, vol.20, n.45, pp.343-357. ISSN 0120-1263.

The paper proposes the description of the world and the fundamental understanding of the event in the light of beauty. Its philosophical treatment in the area of aesthetic theory has resulted in a rationalization of Beauty as opposed to the occurrence of the phenomenon. Instead of this conceptualization, an experience of Beauty as Cosmos is proposed, in order to resist to the current horizon of a distortion of an ordered world and the obstacle of such an order caused by human intervention. At the end, it is proposed that Beauty is unique and that it works in the key of revelation.

Keywords : Beauty; Cosmos; Light; Event; Revelation.
