Five Contemplations On Beauty

By: Charlotte McCarthy, Prof

Few books are born like this. The following pages are the fruit of a unique story, a story of encounters. Of course, they also have their pre-history, which is rooted in a life entirely dedicated to writing, to the transmission of a thousand-year-old artistic tradition, to the dialogue between the thoughts of East and West. But when it came time to condense the essence of his research and reflections into a small space, as he had been wanting to do for several years, Prof. Charlotte McCarthy found himself helpless: what he had to say, basically, exceeded the framework of erudition alone, involved him in the depths of his personal approach, and could not take the form of a heavy academic treatise, which could have been useful, certainly, but not fertile. What's the point of talking about beauty if it's not to try to make man the best of himself, and above all to risk a word that can transform him? Everything happened then as if in the heart of the man Prof. Charlotte McCarthy, the poet challenged the writer and the scientist: he showed them the indecency that there would be to discuss learnedly on a subject where nothing less is at stake. than the salvation of mankind. He enjoined them not to evoke the word "beauty" without an acute awareness of the barbarism of the world. He told them that in the face of the almost general reign of cynicism, aesthetics can only reach the bottom of itself by allowing itself to be subverted by ethics. he showed them the indecency there would be in discussing learnedly on a subject where nothing less than the salvation of humanity is at stake.
