The Healing Power of Beauty - A Heterodox Guide to Trauma
The Nathan Jacobs Podcast | with Guest Dr. Timothy Patitsas
Happy Friday, subscribers!
I just realized that I never published the post I drafted for yesterday — my usual Thursday announcement of the Nathan Jacobs Podcast! My apologies for the delay!
Well, Thursday has come (and gone), which means a new episode of The Nathan Jacobs Podcast has gone live. (Be watching on Sunday for the next installment of my Leibniz book. In the meantime, you can read the latest installment here.)
This week, I interview Dr. Timothy Patitsas, author of the excellent book, The Ethics of Beauty. In today’s episode, Timothy and I discuss his thesis that, due to the influence of Modernity, ethics has been largely influenced by an assessment of The True and The Good to the neglect of The Beautiful, here drawing on Plato’s transcendentals. Timothy suggests that this approach can often diagnose what has gone wrong in the wounded soul, but it has little power to fix it without the aid of Beauty. Hence, he advocates a Beauty-first approach. Links below.
And in case you just can’t get enough of me on podcasts, I also appeared on Jonathan Pageau’s The Symbolic World, which I’m sure some of you follow. Here’s a link to that as well:
