How does the classical approach compare to Ruskin’s?

I am very fascinated by this because it parallels my own theme of perceiving the world anew, as one might by turning upside-down glasses over to see clearly. That is not a 100% correlation to what you are saying, but the spirit is similar. My focus has been on a contemplative Christian perspective in a post-Christian, post-Modern world. My objective is the same as that which you describe as "deep looking." I know you will bonk me over the head for saying this, but, "I can't draw." However, I can think. At the moment, thinking in the form of descriptive phenomenology is my way of drawing on and attempting "deep looking." Thank you for sharing your perspective. We need it very much.
