Dr. Jones has a new book out—well, as usual, it’s a few books between two covers. This one covers the gamut of culture war content from a very interesting set of angles. It’s titled The Dangers of Beauty: The Conflict Between Mimesis and Concupiscence In the Fine Arts.

The whole idea is framed around painting in Italy, poetry in England, music in Germany, and influences everywhere from a variety of critical sources. Ever hear how “beauty is in the eye of the beholder?” Find out why this is not really, not fully, true. So much to chew on here.

After this interview you will know:

👉 The proper role of geometry and proportion in fine art

👉 The definition of the three transcendentals: goodness, truth, and our subject, beauty.

👉 Why pornography is not art

👉 The golden ratio and its role in architecture and painting

👉The subversion of German music by the Jewish Stanley Kubrick in A Clockwork Orange

👉 Why novelist Anthony Burgess renounced the Kubrick adaptation of his novel

👉 The artistic definition of mimesis and why it’s in conflict with concupiscence

👉 The culture reasons why modern church architecture

👉 How logos is integrated into true art
