Jan C. Bentz

Prof. Jan C. Bentz, a seasoned lecturer in philosophy with expertise in aesthetics and metaphysics, explores the nature of beauty beyond mere subjectivity. He argues for the objective qualities of beauty rooted in historical philosophical traditions, including those of Plato and Aquinas. Bentz discusses the dangers of modern art's fragmentation and advocates for a holistic connection between art, ethics, and the divine. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing authentic beauty, drawing parallels to the purity of children's perspectives in our increasingly distorted world.
