Enrol in our Plato on Beauty course here: halkyonacademy.teachable.com/...
Seminars begin July 27th, 2024.
We tend to think of beauty today as primarily if not exclusively aesthetic. In fact, we consider beauty as subjective, as a matter of personal taste, in the eye of the beholder. But for Plato beauty is ontological and integral to his entire philosophy. Without beauty we cannot see the Idea of the Good - and vice versa. Thus, for Plato beauty is also intimately related to virtue and the Good Life.
We invite you to deepen your understanding of beauty, to remember in the sense of anamnesis what beauty in a primal sense means so as to learn how to find beauty in your life. Thomas hat put together a wonderful course for us on beauty.

Modern art is rarely profound or interesting. It does not inspire or elevate the mind because it has no ideal higher than itself. It portrays only the mundane, the basest of human existence. It merely appeals to and expresses the shallow senses. Which by default mirrors the artist conditioned by his environment; a post modern relativism. Post modern art has nothing to say because it lacks a profound transcendent meaning. One that was lost in the Victorian era when man willingly and ignorantly exchanged the Imago Dei for that of an ape. The mundane, the vulgar and the simplistic and the base dominate modern art raising rarely above the sensuous and vulgar. The old and enduring have been discarded. Giving an exacting credence to the notion that man will rise or fall according to the image he has of himself.
