The word kalos (\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u1f78\u03c2) means beautiful. It is the call of the good; that which arouses interest, desire: \u201cI am here.\u201d Beauty brings the appetite to rest at the same time as it wakens the mind from its daily slumber, calling us to look afresh at that which is before our very eyes. It makes virgins of us all, and of everything\u2014there, before us, lies something that we never noticed before. Beauty consists in integritas sive perfectio<\/i> [integrity and perfection] and claritas<\/i> [brightness\/clarity]. It is the reason why we rise and why we sleep\u2014that great night of dependence, one that reveals the borrowed existence of all things, if, that is, there is to be a thing at all, or if there is to be a person at all. Here lies the ground of all science, of philosophy, and of all theology, indeed of our each and every day. This series seeks to provide intelligent-yet-accessible volumes that have the innocence of beauty and true adventure, and in so doing remind us all again of that which we took for granted, most of all thought itself.<\/p>\n
