Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty

A Conversation with Margarita Mooney Clayton

New Books Network 2023

Is beauty objective, or merely a personal experience? Do we need beauty in our daily lives, or is it just icing on the cake? Is the sole purpose of art self-expression? Sociologist Margarita Mooney Clayton '05 of Princeton Theological Seminary discusses the history and philosophy of beauty, and its relationships with truth and the sacred. Clayton is the author of The Wounds of Beauty.
