Thanks for the excellent reading list on a sick day for us! Too much good stuff to comment on, but I’ll say I really appreciated your review on Beauty. I want to read it now!
My philosophy elective in college was Philosophy of Art and it totally changed my view on art! Namely, it gave me the idea that art isn’t at its best hanging in a museum, but when purposefully placed and used within our everyday lives. It was the beginning of shaping my heart toward the role of beauty in Christian worship and architecture.
Thanks again for the list, and for including my piece! What a joy to be placed next to Dixie!
Fun fact: We did that Natural Womanhood interview with Dr. Matthew Loftus while he was living in Africa, where he and his family were serving as missionaries. The video (which we did not share) was pretty hilarious, as he did it under a bedsheet, so as to try to block out the noise in the small home (with thin walls) in which they were living. That was such a great conversation, in many ways. Thanks for sharing!
Philosophy has always been intimidating, but after seeing his name around repeatedly I took a gamble. This one showed me how accessible and succinct he is (I'm not sure all his books are like this, but I'm going to give more of his work a shot. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on any books of his you pick up.)

I love the book on Beauty by Scruton. There is an excellent documentary that goes with it. I think you can find it on Vimeo or YouTube.
Great collection this week.
Yes came here to say the same thing! I watched the documentary in high school and I've never been quite the same haha
yesss This is what I need. Thanks, y'all.
Scruton is on my reading list in the coming months too! Probably the next nonfiction I will read!

So many good resources! Thank you
