Beauty, the Foundation of the West

8/9/2017

 
 The Catholic Art Guild has released a nicely filmed version of my recent address to its membership, Beauty, the Foundation of the West​.  I offer there my account of the West as a civilization molded by its Christian-Platonist tradition, which I define in terms of six great insights bequeathed to us by our Jewish, Christian, and Classical Greek and Roman ancestors.  You can watch the whole thing below.  And you can read more about it all in The Vision of the Soul: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty in the Western Tradition.
