About This Item
Houghton Mifflin, 1922. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 6.7 x 4.7 x .6. Hardcover. Book Condition: Good. Jacket Condition: No Jacket. Houghton Mifflin, 1922. 150 pages. Moderate general wear. Previous owner gift notation. Size: 6.7 x 4.7 x .6. In Ariel, Rod= surveys the situation Latin America was facing at the end of the 19th century. He points out that utilitarianism relies on specialization and materialism, and that consequently, the wealth of our minds is affected. Such practice can and will affect the spirit. In order for Latin America to revive its spirit, Rod= proposed strict adherence to the aesthetic ideals of the Greek and the Roman cultures. He believed both of these embody a sense of beauty, and most important, both realms recognize the significance of devoting oneself to an activity of the mind. Art is then a form of learning that finds and enriches the spirit and negates utilitarianism. Literature Non-Fiction 7139 7139
