Reviews for The Ethics of the Dust
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
4/5
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a curious book, consisting of Victorian Socratic dialogues superficially about the crystallisation of minerals. What is also discussed is a mixture of myth, aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, and theology, which overlap with each other to some extent, being used as analogies and illustrations for one other. In some places it seems childish, but the serious messages that are also here are quite profound. It is never unenjoyable to read due to the seeming lightness of gravity with which it was written, and the poetical leaning of the author whenever an image is produced in order to explain something. I don't quite know what to make of this book, but I will look out for other works by Ruskin in the future because he has caught my imagination.
