Harcourt, Brace. Jovanovich

Art is a shortcut to philosophy declares Alexandra York in this challenging collection of essays offered for the specific purpose of suggesting which art and ideas should be championed and advanced if we are to generate an American Renaissance at the dawn of this new millennium. The result of her efforts is no less than a blueprint for a revolution in the arts. Nothing since Tom Wolfe's The Painted Word has so daringly called for a reconsideration of where the tastemaking establishment has been taking us. Boldly addressing the anomaly of a nation experiencing both unprecedented material prosperity and cultural bankruptcy and calling herself a radical for beauty, she frankly spurns twentieth century primitivism, nihilism, deconstructionism and political correctness. As a potent antidote to our cultural malaise, she advocates revitalizing the fundamental tenets of our philosophical heritage (ancient Greece) by imbuing contemporary art created in the established Western heritage art forms--representationalism in the visual arts; melody and harmony in music; structure and ideation in the written arts--with a positive and inspiring content that celebrates the world at its most beautiful and man and woman at their best. No revivalist, she also spurns nostalgia and urges those of us who love life and the art that enhances living to enjoy and enrich our moments on this earth through art experiences that lift our spirits, move us to contemplative thought and remind us why life is worth living.

Soul Celebrations and Spiritual Snacks

This tightly packed but eminently graspable book is full of new, original, and unique ideas for highly personal, deeply spiritual happiness that will appeal to both religious and nonreligious individuals. Basing its premises in values--and everyone has values--it offers broad avenues and private pathways to achieve a variety of sustained, empowering, exalted, and expansive "Soul Celebration" experiences that are singular to every individual because each person's value system is exclusively theirs alone. In addition, it offers smaller, simpler "Spiritual Snacks" to provide instantly available, delectable bits of spiritual nourishment and inspirational energy for those wishing to "spur-of-the-moment" experience the wondrous joys of being alive and active in today's whirlwind world. Note: Many people experience spiritual snacks without identifying them, but until we are conceptually aware of them we cannot own them as precious moments of ever-recurring moral renewal. Our essential self-created or accepted value center defines our distinctive personhood. This interior core can be activated by external stimuli into experiences of sustained secular spiritual bliss, which become celebrations of our one-and-only individualized Self. How? By connecting to and uniting--becoming "One"--with three "other" here-on-earth entities that can stimulate our value center both emotionally and physically: nature, art, and romantically beloved humans. These three, and only these three, open gateways that can provide the highest renewal to the essence--the soul--of Selfhood in a secular manner. But however we approach spirituality--religiously or secularly--at root the subject concerns the fundamentals that constitute a good and right life to pursue for the greatest satisfaction and happiness. Especially in the context of current cultural and global strife, it is more important than ever for all individuals to create for themselves a loving, soul-satisfying private life untouchable by external events. Fortunately, an exquisite state of stability within the present turmoil--a personal "Still Point" in the global storm--can be achieved by everyone regardless of situational context, allowing each individual to seek and select their own paths to inalienable, self-created happiness. Religious individuals of all creeds can add these enthralling pleasures to their already existing faith-based experiences. Nonreligious individuals can experience the heights of emotional-physiological-spiritual (mind, body, and soul) exaltation usually unimagined in a secular environment, thus uplifting their normal levels of pleasure to the summit of passionate earthly joy. All can discover new, enlivening, and soul-stirring experiences for personal happiness and spiritual fulfillment. Following is the dedication in this book which says it all: This book is dedicated to men and women committed to reason but sense there may be something missing and men and women of faith who sense there may be something more.
