But the course of this change does not seem to be haphazard and we may seek the modalities of its Logos in the                            transformations in which it occurs.

Applied to life and its becoming,                            metamorphosis pinpoints the proportions between the vital and the aesthetic significance of life. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhere could this metaphysical in-between territory come better to light than in the Fine Arts? \u003c\/p\u003e                            \u003cp\u003eIn this collection are investigated the various proportions between the vital significance of the constructivism of life and a specifically human contribution made by the creative imagination to the transformatory                            search for beauty and aesthetic values. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePapers \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Theme; A.-T.
