Fr. Bradley Elliott, a professional drummer turned Dominican friar, joins the podcast to discuss his book, The Shape of the Artistic Mind: A Search for the Metaphysical Link Between Art and Morals in the Thought of Thomas Aquinas. Themes include:

  • Man’s capacity to participate in God’s creative activity and governance of the world
  • How human artistic activity not only imitates but enhance nature
  • The combination of Aristotelian and neo-Platonic streams in St. Thomas’s theory of art
  • How Aristotle redeemed the notion of nature from Plato, and Plotinus redeemed the notion of imitation from Plato
  • Comparing the virtue of art to the mortal and speculative virtues
