The article says "... the Book of Wisdom which advances the mathematical nature of aesthetics and aligns the work of both God and humanity through their common manipulation of these mathematical qualities in order to create beauty." This struck me as odd, so I went over to the Wikipedia article on the Book of Wisdom, but found nothing about math. The quote I copied above out of this article cites Tatarkiewicz, Władysław (2015-08-31). Medieval Aesthetics. I think the notion comes up on pages 6--7 of this work, where the author writes "God arranged 'everything according to measure, number and weight'... this is a mathematical theory of aesthetics." That's one author's opinion, and it's not clear to me that "measure, number and weight" constitute a "mathematical theory of aesthetics." I'm not against mentioning Tatarkiewicz's theory here, but it seems like the claim could be softened a bit, maybe "Tatarkiewicz [ref.] argued that because the Book of Wisdom said God arranged "everything according to measure, number and weight", this implied a mathematical theory of aesthetics." But this is certainly outside my domain of expertise. And perhaps there are other (firmer) references for this? Mcswell (talk) 21:05, 26 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
