ОглавлениеAesthetics and the Divine
Rabbi Dr Shimon Cowen is the Director of the Institute for Judaism and Civilization. Combining his distinct backgrounds in secular and religious studies, he established the Institute to create an interface or communication between the arts, sciences and values of general society, on the one hand, and traditional world of religious experience, values and learning, on the other. This book documents one aspect of this interface – in the realm of the fine arts. The work of the Institute has taken the author also to the study of the common root and values of the great world religions, known as the Noahide laws. Their content and application to society are the subject of his books, Politics and Universal Ethics and The Theory and Practice of Universal Ethics – the Noahide Laws. The son of a former Governor-General of Australia, Sir Zelman Cowen, he resides with his wife and family in Melbourne. He may be contacted at
