Architecture, Aesth/Ethics and Religion
Space is the primary condition of life. It can be regarded as the Creators gift to the living. The human need for built environments is as existential as the need of an ecological, social and spiritual orientation. Built spaces encourage us to look for syntheses and varied connections between traditionally separate spheres: aesthetics/ethics, nature/mind, body/soul, God/world, social life in change and in continuity. How can we deepen the connections between aesthetics, ethics and religion in architecture? Do we really need less aesthetics, more ethics? How can we understand the spirituality of space and place, and what about the spatiality of the sacred? What is the significance of built space for the experience and imaging of the God of the Here-and-Now? The authors of this book offer many-faceted contributions from architectural, artistic, philosophical and theological perspectives, as well as insights into ongoing research projects of relevance to the new interdisciplinary field.
