- Summary:
- Through myth, we are connected to timeless worlds that immeasurably enhance our own experience as travelers in time. Here, Eliot explores hidden dimensions of myth in ways not previously opened. First, the time dimension, or dimensions - a most mysterious subject that myth illuminates. What is the True? Second, the art of dimension, or dimensions. A few artists create near-miracles and mythic depths may be shown to underlie the factual. What is the Beautiful? Third, the ethical dimension, or dimensions. This evermore controversial area envelopes our daily lives. It impinges upon some and inspires others. What is the Good? Here, you will find no easy answers to the great questions that humanity has asked itself from the beginning. Instead, you will see the questions themselves unfold in fresh and sometimes thrilling ways.
