Project Gutenberg 2013-06-11 Public domain in the USA. 139 Ruskin, John 1819 1900 Ruskin, J. (John) The Eagle's Nest Ten Lectures on the Relation of Natural Science to Art, Given Before the University of Oxford, in Lent Term, 1872 E-text prepared by Paul Murray, KD Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Eagle's Nest" by John Ruskin is a collection of lectures on the intersection of natural science and art, delivered in the early 19th century. This work, which consists of ten lectures, discusses the importance of wisdom in both fields, arguing that understanding and emotion are vital to true mastery in art, rather than technical skills alone. Ruskin brings forth concepts such as the virtues of art and science, and he challenges the audience to reflect on how these domains influence human experience and perception. At the start of the work, Ruskin establishes the tone and intent of his lectures, emphasizing the importance of clarity and accessibility in his teaching. He opens by reflecting on how art and science should ideally work together to elevate human understanding and appreciation of beauty. He introduces the concept of "sophia," or wisdom, as a guiding principle that must govern both artistic creation and scientific inquiry. Through various examples, he encourages his audience to pursue knowledge that is unselfish and enriching, setting the stage for his exploration of deeper philosophical ideas throughout the lectures.
