An assessment of the relationship between refinement and existence. This text uses literary studies to demonstrate the importance of refined sensibility as fundamental to learning, and learning as more fundamental than knowing. It aims to challenge the existing doctrines and methods.
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.
