DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies XXXIV 2022 Call for Papers on</strong>: <br><strong>"The Arts &amp\; Transcendence: In Search of Beauty\, Truth &amp\; Goodness"</strong></p>\n<p>In a postmodern era that questions all Absolutes except the subjective self\, the arts may help rebuild the bridge to objectivity and transcendence.&nbsp\; Heinz Kohut&rsquo\;s psychology of the self notes the underlying malaise of postmodern man punctuated by fleeting images and disordered sound.&nbsp\; The arts probe the innermost recesses of the human soul and recall its quest for perfection\, redemption\, and immortality.&nbsp\; Indeed\, the human capacities to appreciate beauty\, truth and goodness constitute a roadmap to transcendence.&nbsp\; In <em>The Sound of Beauty</em> (2019)\, Michael Kurek\, a classical composer\, explores how classical music reveals both God&rsquo\;s immanence and transcendence\, and that it speaks a universal language beyond preference and prejudice.&nbsp\; Empirical research confirms that classical music enhances human cognitive abilities\, creativity\, perception\, and memory\, which echoes Immanuel Kant&rsquo\;s philosophical proposition concerning the architectonic structure of the human mind.&nbsp\; Neuroscientific studies show also that children who undergo musical training have better verbal memory\, language skills\, reading ability\, and executive functions.&nbsp\; Learning to play an instrument as a child may predict academic performance and IQ in young adulthood.&nbsp\; The question arises:&nbsp\; Can the arts that reflect the transcendentals of beauty\, truth\, and goodness be a gateway to mending the broken self and restoring human aspirations for social bonding and happiness?</p>\n<p>___________________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p><strong>JIS Mss.
