About this product
Product Information
In this original and compelling exploration of the meaning of the term 'fine' and the phenomenon of refinement, noted scholar Michael Gelven reflects on the relationship between refinement and existence. Beginning with a study of perceptual refinement, Gelven shows how in some cases this refinement discloses an existential essence--as an architect shows us what it means to dwell. Gelven then moves to a refinement of self, not equating it with virtue but showing how refinement illuminates our understanding of our ethical and aesthetic judgments, and of what it means to be.

Reviews
The importance of this absolutely original study of the endangered idea of the 'fine' cannot be exaggerated..., All audiences...not just specialists in philosophy, will find much to delight them, and much to ponder, in this thoughtful, impassioned book., The honesty, rigor, and probity of his thinking are evident throughout this compelling examination of all that is 'fine' in our lives., A speculative work of great scope and profundity but contained in a small compass...[I]t exposes the nihilism that is unwittingly and unintentionally generated by the Enlightenment and points the way to recovering the question of human excellence in a way that is modern...but escapes the ideology of modernity. It is a well argued and spirited celebration of the philosophical life properly conceived., A subtle and often elegant essay on a topic that all too frequently escapes the attention of professional philosophers.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
