    Bring back a sense of the sacred and beautiful in the sciences
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2014*

I nearly gave this book four stars because in so many places I was left thirsting for more, and there were some instances where the mathematical references are not clear to the lay person (especially one who hasn't revisited geometry in a while).  However, this book is too important to quibble over those shortcomings.  Caldecott lays out a forceful case for why we need to get back to a "quadrivium-like" program of liberal arts education in our schools.  I say "quadrivium-like" because Caldecott proposes not just reinstating the classical education, but bringing to bear all that we have learned since the Greeks to enhance it.  But it's really unfair to categorize this book as merely making a case for a liberal arts renaissance.  It goes far beyond that; through examples Caldecott shows the reader how reinvigorating a sense of beauty and sacred order in the cosmos - and in how we undertake to learn about it through the sciences - would do much not only to redeem education, but redeem the world and its errant philosophies.Be forewarned: after reading Beauty for Truth's Sake, you will have written down and perhaps purchased at least 3-5 other books to take you further in the study of the intersection of beauty, truth, and the sciences.  For myself, I bought the companion book "Beauty in the Word" (also by Caldecott), which covers the Trivium, Ratzinger's "The Spirit of the Liturgy," Vitruvius' "On Architecture," and Lawlor's "Sacred Geometry."Caldecott has done much in this relatively short work to reawaken in me a love for math and science, and a new perspective as to how these seemingly secular fields are every bit as much a sacred endeavor as engaging the written word.

    Inspirational!
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2019*

This was passed on to me from a friend to read.  Now I have bought two more to share with others.  Stretches the heart and mind in BEAUTIFUL ways.  Although the last chapters that applied his vision for re-enchanting education to real life were somewhat anti-climactic, I thrilled at almost every other page of the book.  Highly recommended!

*by F***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018*

A little heady, but a great read on how there is beauty in things like math and how they point to God in ways most do not realize. I would recommend.
