Searching for the Divine in Plato and Aristotle

Book • 2021
Julie K. Ward's book delves into the dual meanings of theoria, examining its traditional use as travel to festivals and shrines, and its philosophical application by Plato and Aristotle.

Ward highlights a common thread between these uses: the visual experience of the sacred or divine.

The book provides a detailed analysis of how theoria is used in both contexts, focusing on works like Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.
