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.
