Learning through Inspiration and Beauty
Learning through Inspiration and Beauty
I based this lecture series on an essay and never completed book. I wanted to explore the ways of life that have contributed to the great fluorescences of cultural history. Too often, we focus on the fruit of the tree - art, music, literature, science - rather than the tree itself. As I discuss the important elements, I reflect upon our current attitudes and habits and how they contribute or detract from a humane life.
