THEO 4073 - Catholic Thinkers, Writers, and Artists
Credits: 3
“Every genuine artistic intuition goes beyond what the senses perceive and, reaching beneath reality’s surface, strives to interpret its hidden mystery. The intuition itself springs from the depths of the human soul, where the desire to give meaning to one’s own life is joined by the fleeting vision of beauty and of the mysterious unity of things.” (Letter to Artists, John Paul II) Choosing a specific topic or persons (for instance: Augustine, Teresa of Avila, J. H. Newman, G. K. Chesterton, Flannery O’Connor, Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, Fra Angelico, Michelangelo), this course will consider themes and symbols of a Catholic worldview as expressed in the works of various thinkers, writers, and artists who explore the true, the good, and the beautiful, as well as the mystery of iniquity and the problem of suffering through art, music, film, or literature.
