Ontology and Religious Art - My Appearance on PBS
The Nathan Jacobs Podcast
Greetings subscribers! My apologies for the late post, but as you know, it’s Thursday, which means another episode of The Nathan Jacobs Podcast. (Be watching on Sunday for the next installment of my Leibniz book. You can read the latest installment here.)
Some years back, I was interviewed by the PBS show Closer to Truth on a host of topics, ranging from art to the afterlife. The interviews are short, only 5-10 mins, but the topics are much bigger than the timeslot admits. So, in today’s episode, I dust off one of those interviews and flesh out my thoughts that with greater detail. The specific interview I chose for today was on the ontology of religious art: Do religious images ever participate in spiritual realities they depict? Links below.
