Rod Dreher, John Paul II, and the Reality of Beauty

The cultural commentator and author of How Dante Can Save Your Life, Rod Dreher, has just discussed my article, "John Paul II's Letter to Artists and the Force of Beauty," in his online home at The American Conservative.  The article marks one of my various attempts to draw a general, educated audience into scholarly debate about the nature and reality of beauty, and I am grateful that Dreher has given such consideration to the major claims of the argument.  To read Dreher's essay, click here or on the picture.
