From the Back Cover

Based in the riches of Christian worship and tradition, Beauty for Truth's Sake helps us put back together again faith and reason, truth and beauty, and the fragmented academic disciplines. Now with a new foreword by Ken Myers."[Caldecott] observes that 'we are living in an era shaped by philosophical battles that most of us are unaware ever took place.' Having spent most of my adult life trying to understand the genealogy of contemporary confusions, I wish I had known more about those battles when I was much younger. Many of our cultural institutions (and the shape they give to our lives) have been shaped by the outcome of those battles, formed by sympathies with the winning if mistaken side. And so many countercultural works of re-enchantment are now necessary. But what a marvelous necessity and what a marvelous and hopeful companion Stratford Caldecott can be for us in the way ahead."--Ken Myers, producer and host, Mars Hill Audio Journal (from the foreword)"A book that addresses the soul, mind, spirit, and will. It is an extended meditation on the sources of becoming more human that inevitably relate humanity to God. It is about education, spiritual maturing, and a lifetime vocation of learning. It is a wise book, an inspiring book, a beautiful book."--Ralph McInerny, University of Notre Dame"This book offers three kinds of light: lucidity, illumination, and scintillation--the lucidity of participating in the divine simplicity, which substitutes profundity for mere complexity; illumination through the divine light of the Logos that shines as one in both creation and revelation; the scintillation of realizing that this truth can only be approached in love. Caldecott shows that all of our natural and social reality reflectively sparkles with a new anticipation, revealing to us how it might be transformed to better show forth the divine likeness."--Catherine Pickstock, University of Cambridge and Emmanuel College"A remarkable manifesto that restores mystery to its proper place in education. With mystery comes wonder, awe, reverence, beauty, and a sense of discovery that leads us to a deeper wisdom. Without these, science and mathematics are sterile, dull, and doomed, and the humanities are impossible. Caldecott has pronounced a blessing for our children and our children's children."--Scott Hahn, Franciscan University of Steubenville

If I could make one book required reading for Catholic parents and educators, it is Stratford Caldecott's "Beauty for Truth's Sake". In six succinct chapters, he leads readers from the history of education's disintegration to a vision for its restoration and `re-enchantment'. Caldecott's proposal to return wonder, beauty, integrity and, thus, enchantment to the sphere of education calls for a reawakening of some ancient sensibilities.Modern man has been uprooted from the very ground of his own being - the Word of God expressed as number, proportion and form, which undergirds Creation's beauty and his own. His awareness of sacred symbolism has been dulled by the divorce of poetry and pedagogy. He comes to the study of philosophy and theology unprepared by music, and disconnected from history. He suffers from the deformation of the Liturgy, and in his flattened state has lost capacity for interior freedom.The keys to meaning are (and always have been) form, gestalt, beauty, interiority, relationship, radiance and purpose. An education for meaning would therefore begin with an education in the perception of form. The `re-enchantment' of education would open our eyes to the meaning and beauty of the cosmos.Caldecott would restore to us the interior spaciousness expressed in the great medieval cathedrals by the interplay of light, space, "stone and statuary, rose windows and labyrinths" in the service of Sacred Liturgy. With Plato, he believes "the inner vision of the soul could be awakened" by the disciplines of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music. He would reintegrate the Liberal Arts curriculum by locating it "within the history of ideas."With the Christian Pythagoreans, Caldecott explores the "logoi of Creation....understood in terms of number and cosmic harmony". Beauty, he tells us, is "the key to the lost unity" of subjects as diverse as "art and literature, music, mathematics, physics, biology, and history." Read more at Charlotte's Web: [...]

I nearly gave this book four stars because in so many places I was left thirsting for more, and there were some instances where the mathematical references are not clear to the lay person (especially one who hasn't revisited geometry in a while). However, this book is too important to quibble over those shortcomings. Caldecott lays out a forceful case for why we need to get back to a "quadrivium-like" program of liberal arts education in our schools. I say "quadrivium-like" because Caldecott proposes not just reinstating the classical education, but bringing to bear all that we have learned since the Greeks to enhance it. But it's really unfair to categorize this book as merely making a case for a liberal arts renaissance. It goes far beyond that; through examples Caldecott shows the reader how reinvigorating a sense of beauty and sacred order in the cosmos - and in how we undertake to learn about it through the sciences - would do much not only to redeem education, but redeem the world and its errant philosophies.Be forewarned: after reading Beauty for Truth's Sake, you will have written down and perhaps purchased at least 3-5 other books to take you further in the study of the intersection of beauty, truth, and the sciences. For myself, I bought the companion book "Beauty in the Word" (also by Caldecott), which covers the Trivium, Ratzinger's "The Spirit of the Liturgy," Vitruvius' "On Architecture," and Lawlor's "Sacred Geometry."Caldecott has done much in this relatively short work to reawaken in me a love for math and science, and a new perspective as to how these seemingly secular fields are every bit as much a sacred endeavor as engaging the written word.

A little heady, but a great read on how there is beauty in things like math and how they point to God in ways most do not realize. I would recommend.

I was struck by this book as was Fr. Nichols: it hit me "with the force of revelation," what I should have realized better from my study of Plato, that a consideration and love of beauty needs to be weaved into free, deep, and philosophical education (the only kind of genuine education). Let's hope that this book plays a crucial role in a broad recovery among households and institutions of Christian civilization.
