A few episodes ago we put out a show titled, “What Aquinas Said”. In that episode we laid out Thomas Aquinas’ understanding of beauty. Aquinas was the greatest Medieval philosopher. In today’s episode we contemplate what the greatest Modern philosopher, Immanuel Kant, said about beauty. With Kant we may have a change of approach. From Plato to Aquinas we talk about beauty, but in Kant we talk about aesthetics - or taste.
