Why Does Beauty Wound? with John-Paul Heil
Update: 2024-06-05
Description
You are marveling at a beautiful sunset, standing in awe before an Italian masterpiece, or gazing lovingly into the face of your beloved. These moments of beauty, however brief, impact our hearts, minds, and souls in a profound way. What exactly is occurring in these moments?
John-Paul Heil offers insight through a reading and discussion of his essay "Ekstasis and the Chicken Truck," in which he offers insight into the nature of these experiences we all share, which are yet so individual to each of us. Heil explains the importance of attentiveness, offers a critique of Petrarch, and recounts how a truck full of frozen chicken led to a moment of transcendence.
