God Revealed to the Mind's Eye: Divine Intelligence in Formal Beauty.

This paper examines the relationship between the human soul as a substantial form and the transcendental principle of beauty in forms. This relationship is explored through the lens of aesthetics as applied to visual forms, empirical science, and mathematics. I propose that aesthetics and the principle of beauty is intrinsic and influential to the human experience. I have considered the thought of Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, Plato, and Hans Urs Von Balthasar to form, support, and demonstrate these claims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
