For once I must vigorously disagree with Sir Roger. I can see that the Tintoretto is great art but it is oriented far more toward the Last Judgement and therefore distracts one from the essential reality of The Crucifixion, which is the totality of Christ's suffering. The nature of His sacrifice is thus glossed over in the Tintoretto which I find to be a repugnant piece of art for it's Triumphalist orientation. The Grunewald is a masterpiece. Also, just because Schubert drank a little too much doesn't make him depraved. Wagner is more problematic; he was a genuine jerk.

Im so sorry Sir Scruton, but the political correct culture Marxist modern man will not listen. They are not forced, brainwashed or enslaved, they are deeply convinced feminists, liberals, multi cultural and diversity worshipers. Everything that we consider ugly, degenerate, unnatural and decadent is freedom, happiness, love and equality for them. They made their choice, they are all grown ups. We wont win. We might found foundations, society and domains of our own. A form of autonomy . But the modern world belongs to the liberals, the white self hating ethnic masochists and political correct mass and bugman.

Ken Wilber does a decent job at delineating, distinguishing and integrating The Good, True & Beautiful. He also does a good job at showing how we can sometimes fall into reductionism whereby we fail to delineate, distinguish and integrate elements that make up The Good, True & Beautiful in the wider culture... which is already happening. The patterns he points out are very educational.

How much of ancient belief is he hoping to recapture. If you read the Bible, you'll find all kinds of beliefs that modern folks couldn't possibly recapture. I suspect things will get worse as time goes by from the viewpoint of those who are religious believers and are hoping for a recovery of a world of believers. Accelerating science and technology are pushing us away faster and faster from those old strange Biblical beliefs. Another generation or two and they will be incomprehensible.

People have been saying that for centuries now. And yet, there's more Christians on the earth right now than ever before. A people group/civilization can't function without a religion for very long, even if everyone rejects Christianity, something will replace it. The future belongs to those who show up for it, secular atheists don't have children. Speaking in a global context, you're a dying breed, and a uniquely western phenomenon. People in other parts of the world aren't going to abandon their religious upbringing like a bunch of 21st century Swedish Lutherans, most parts of the world just don't work like that.

I wonder if DW Griffith's film The Birth of a Nation can be "rescued" in the same way that Wagner's work was explained? I think the overt racism in that film was marginalized for many years, culminating in a DW Griffith award given for Hollywood films of technical excellence (Kubrick received one); but it was later withdrawn for its racist associations. The film glorifies the Ku Klux Klan and actually lead to a resurgence of membership and its attendant violence.

Put that way, it seems clearer, I think. However, I think we can say, 'Beauty is good, and good is beautiful,' depending on how one thinks 'beautiful' should be defined. I think that the Good is beautiful while the Good is not Beauty (that's why we have the different concepts), but both are desirable for a fully human life because the Beautiful is part of the Good, and the Good is crucial to our living well and rightly.

I like Roger Scruton and generally agree with what he says, but in this talk I would take exception with a few things. Satan a sympathetic figure in "Paradise Lost?" To each his own but I hardly saw him that way. And to use commercially driven Thomas Kincaid as a representative of sentimentality is grossly unfair and absurd. Try rather Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or Doctor Dolittle. Now what says Scruton to these? I myself like them much better than Wagner or Puccini. And now that he mentions it, as far as most 19th and 20th century classical music generally, and aside perhaps for Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff, they are like Scruton's books of science, ordinarily good for one read, or in their case one listen, unlike say 18th century classical music, like Mozart, or the Baroque of such as Handel and Vivaldi; which we can stand hearing over and over and over again.

Good is predicated upon God. The Good or God shoots forth its creative Idea as the Light of Truth which, striking the magic Mirror of matter, shines with pleasure at representing that Truth in the many forms of Beauty. The lower man projects his own horrors on that same screen and suffers accordingly. Truth is Light, Beauty is Life and both are made One in Goodness, which is Love.
