The Catholic Culture Podcast: 170 – Art Participates in God’s Governance


Nov 30, 2023

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
