SUGGESTION: Only the Lover Sings: Art and Contemplation by Josef Pieper

MJ. Smith

Only the Lover Sings: Art and Contemplation: Pieper, Josef: 9780898703023: Amazon.com: Books

Josef Pieper have several small, popular books that belong in Logos. This is my favorite - timely given the current stress on the way of beauty.

Amazon blurb: [quote]The popular and highly regarded Pieper speaks of the necessity for human persons to be able to contemplate and appreciate beauty to develop their full humanity. Pieper 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.

Yes, Pieper should be a no-brainer. His works are published by Ignatius which Logos has a lot of books from.

Here are some others that I own in paper or Kindle which I've added requests for in Logos:

Leisure: The Basis of Culture

In Defense of Philosophy: Classical Wisdom Stands Up to Modern Challenges

The End Of Time: A Meditation on the Philosophy of History

If I have time later I might add some more requests. There should be a whole Pieper collection.
