In this lecture, Joel Dominic will share his progress towards developing an original philosophy of beauty, drawing upon research from his senior year at Stanford. He will address how the perception and experience of beauty leads to apprehension of the object of experience. Taking into account the medieval distinction between intellectus (intuitive reasoning) and ratio (logical reasoning), he will explore whether the experience of beauty is related to reasoning in the sense of intellectus. Thinkers discussed will be drawn from both medieval and modern schools of thought.
