11 Nov Aesthetic Harmony: Stoic Insights on Beauty
In this episode, we explore “The Stoic Theory of Beauty” by Aistė Čelkytė, a groundbreaking examination of the Stoic contributions to aesthetics. This largely underexplored area sheds light on how Stoic philosophy provides a coherent framework for understanding beauty and aesthetic phenomena. Čelkytė compellingly argues that Stoic concepts not only deepen our grasp of ancient aesthetics but also resonate with contemporary discussions about beauty. By analyzing the Stoics’ use of aesthetic vocabulary, she reveals how these ideas are intertwined with their broader philosophical discussions on virtue. Join us as we uncover the significant role Stoic aesthetics plays within the ancient Greek and Roman tradition, inviting new perspectives on the values and properties of beauty.
