Dawn After Dark

Religion and art have always complemented one another, but the intellectual and spiritual dimension of this interaction has all too often been taken for granted. Discussing artistic creativity, its spiritual value, and the differing arts of East and West, Rene Huyghe and Buddhist leader Daisaki Ikeda evaluate the crucial role played by religion in helping humanity come to terms with the mysteries and challenges of the unknown. The dialogue analyzes the contemporary predicament from twin perspectives of beauty and the divine. Huyghe and Ikeda look to active solutions to this predicament--the key to harmony in life and the means of reforming our inner lives.Their guiding theme is the rediscovery of a common humanity through the artistic intuition and religious impulse shared by all peoples.Huyghe, Rene is the author of 'Dawn After Dark ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845115968 and ISBN 1845115961.
