Lucia de Carolis

Truth and Icon Lucia de Carolis

Lucia De Carolis went in search of beauty. Beauty as truth. Above all, this book defends the resolution of beauty in nominalism: beauty cannot be considered a mere mode of expression or of conceiving, devoid of any meaning that refers beyond, of any trace of a distant past.

In this sense, Lucia De Carolis inscribes her search for beauty in a very noble part of modern Western thought: the Enlightenment of the Enlightenment, fruit and partner of the "Dialectic of Enlightenment".
