Los fundamentos divinos del orden. Teología y estética en el Económico de Jenofonte

Abstract

This paper seeks to explain Xenophon’s management theory in the Oeconomicus by focusing in the aesthetic and theological facets of the notion of order. To do so, key passages of Memorabilia are incorporated, emphasizing on how theological foundations build up a metaphysical structure that support the intimate links between beauty, order and utility.
