Word, Image – and Reality?
7 p.m.
Mills Building
Dr. Arthur Pontynen will focus on the relationship between word, image and reality. It will consider both the modernist and postmodernist view, as well as a third, preferred view: the pusuit of truth, in which word and image attempt to offer a glimpse of wisdom and beauty. That pursuit informs both Confucianism and traditional Western culture, and is foundational to a culture based upon educated, responsible freedom.
