San Agustín: la finitud Bella

Abstract

St. Augustine: the beautiful finiteness. Distension of the finiteness and beauty are parallel in St. Augustine, its deduction and its aesthetic qualification. Ontology of finiteness is therefore, at the same time, aesthetic thought in three dimensions: a) foundation and structure of the finetenesss; b) temporal succession (temporum pulchritudo); c) historic becoming (universi saeculi pulchritudo). Could we, with no deduction, interpret his aesthetic doctrine as «a system of the beautiful fineteness»?
