About two months ago, I wrote an article about Roger Scruton’s keynote lecture at the “Power of Beauty” conference at Franciscan University of Steubenville. I received three article responses, which you’ll find below.
I want to thank the authors, Matthew Maule, Brian Miller, and Joshua de Gastyne, for taking the time to write responses to my piece. I have already learned from these authors, and hope you will, too.
Enjoy!
