You won’t want to miss this week’s episode of Spiritual Gems! Join Nicholas today on Spiritual Gems as he talks with renowned author, professor, and researcher Dr. Timothy Patitsas. Together, they discuss his book The Ethics of Beauty, with a focus on the first chapter, entitled “The Opposite Of War Is Not Peace.” Dr. Patitsas has a distinctly unique approach to ethics, and today’s podcast is both a fantastic introduction to his philosophy while providing unique insights to those who have read The Ethics of Beauty. Please listen, enjoy, and share!
Dr. Timothy Patisas wears many hats. He devotedly serves as the Dean of Hellenic College in Brookline, Massachusetts, and has also been the Director of the Hellenic College Religious Studies Program, the assistant Professor of Ethics for Holy Cross, and the director of the St. Helen’s Pilgrimage for Holy Cross students. He received his bachelor’s degree from the Georgetown University of Foreign Service, an MDiv from Holy Cross, and a doctorate from the Catholic University of America. In addition to writing The Ethics of Beauty, Dr. Patitsas continues his research in complexity, economics, and anthropology; he is also the co-founder of the Orthodox company Beauty First Films, which recently released its debut feature: Amphilochios, Saint of Patmos.
