| Sumario: | Abstract Eduard Grützner’s painting Brotzeit synthesizes a way of understanding
the relation of the human being to the material world that is both economic and
beautiful. As in Grützner’s painting, in Zsolnai’s thought the condition for this is
that economic life points to the essential. When human activity is based on this
concentration on the essence that leaves out the superfluous, it frees the most
authentic form of things that turns out to be also its most beautiful, more enjoyable
and also more useful aspect. In the peaceful and contented countenance of the monk
portrayed by Grützner is finally reflected another aspect of Zsolnai’s philosophy:
that in an economy based on the essential is also contained the possibility of brotherly coexistence with others |
