Summary: | This paper examines the relationship between the human soul as a substantial form and the transcendental principle of beauty in forms.

I propose that aesthetics and the principle of beauty is intrinsic and influential to the human experience. I have considered the thought of Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, Plato, and Hans Urs Von Balthasar to form, support, and demonstrate these claims. |
