In a time when our cultural reality is dominated by the ephemeral and the transient, the transcendent still manages to occasionally break through. When does this happen—and why? How can we modern people actively reach the perennial truth of the transcendent? And are we moderns able to adopt explicitly anti-modern attitudes?
In the Reality Check series, Jan C. Bentz explores these and other questions about philosophy, culture, art, and politics in discussions and interviews with some of today’s leading thinkers—all centered around the idea of conserving the real in a time of deconstruction.
Jan C. Bentz talks with David Clayton, artist, writer, and provost at Pontifex University, about beauty and art. Is beauty objective? Is it scientific? What makes a good artist good? All these and more related questions are tackled by Clayton in the context of art and sacred art. Find The Way of Beauty website here.
