CSLI-Annapolis presents
Encountering Beauty in the Arts
with Dr. Jerry Root

C. S. Lewis was an objectivist. He believed that truth claims about anything are validated by reality. This validation assumes that there are knowers and things that can be known. This is of utter importance in making claims about God (who has revealed Himself), or claims about science, philosophy, or beauty and the arts.

Lewis’s most important work on objectivity is The Abolition of Man. In his essay “De Futilitate” he claims such objective statements can also be made about beauty. This presentation will explore how he went about making such claims and how it affected him.”

Join us for a special dinner and conversation with Dr. Jerry Root.

Dates: Friday, January 31, 2025
Times: 7:00 - 9:30 pm EST
Location: The Reserve at Two Rivers Steak & Fish House | 4105 Mountain Rd., Pasadena, MD
