Tonight’s deep dive goes beyond aesthetics — it’s about the soul of civilization. We’ll explore why beauty matters, how it connects directly to truth, goodness, and God, and why losing beauty means losing meaning itself.

From Aristotle’s harmony and purpose to Aquinas’ “splendor of order,” and Augustine’s love of the eternal, we trace the divine thread running through philosophy and art. Then we confront the murder of beauty in the modern world — Brutalist architecture, Duchamp’s urinal, Serrano’s Piss Christ, and Cattelan’s wall banana — the full collapse of the sacred into mockery.

Finally, we’ll discuss how to rebuild: not through censorship, but through creation, ridicule, and reverence. Beauty is not decoration — it is revelation. And to see the Beautiful rightly is to see the Face of God.
