The present work examines Florensky's preoccupation with the centrality of art, specifically classical iconography, for the meaning of man. The work of Florensky in this field is arguably the basis and inspiration for the noted studies of Prince Evgeny Trubetskoi, which have served to retrieve the art of iconography from its romantic, nineteenth-century deformations and restore it to its classical and canonical form.
"This book presents the concept of aesthetics to be found in the the theological writing of Florensky--mathematician, physicist, engineer, philosopher, theologian, poet, art historian, linguist and Orthodox priest. [It] is an important book, opening a window into the rich theological understanding of a remarkable man." -- Columbia G. Flegg, Sobornost
