Ep. 05: MARK COPPENGER | Where Beauty Dies, Culture Follows

In this illuminating conversation, Lennox Kalifungwa delves into the realm of aesthetics and culture with Dr. Mark Coppenger. A culture that disregards beauty teeters on the brink of collapse. When a society abandons its appreciation for the transcendent, beauty fades, and civility follows close behind. In a world that despises truth, the vision to behold splendor is lost—eyes that once looked up in awe now stare downward, seeking meaning in the dust. Art, however, is never silent. It reveals what a culture worships, awakens thought, and moves hearts. Artists hold a dual role: they mirror the soul of their time while wielding the power to shape it. This discussion challenges us to reimagine a world where beauty reigns again. This podcast was produced by New Saint Andrews College. Learn how to attend or give to the college at: https://nsa.edu
