(1997) The elusive synthesis, Dordrecht, Springer.
Since Plato, aesthetic experience was understood as the encounter with the self-manifesting (self-expressing) authenticity of being. At the same time, the Western intellectual traditions were inclined to view mathematics as perhaps the purest form of human rationality. Since rationality was viewed as revealing of the authenticity of beings, the unity of mathematical and aesthetic experiences often appeared to philosophers as self-evident.
