In this talk, Matthew Peckham (Rock Baptist Church, Cambridge) will argue that reconsidering aesthetics from an epistemological perspective reshapes our understanding of both disciplines. From a Christian perspective, this involves the cultivation of orthopathos (or ‘right feeling’), and a re-appraisal of the character of knowledge itself.
