Could beauty be the basis for an Interfaith dialogue with Islam? w/ Thomas Jockin
This, our first dialogue takes small but significant steps into thinking through an interfaith dialogue with Islam can look like. We explore the intersection of this dialogue with philosophy and the good, true and beautiful. Thomas Jockin brings a studied perspective to the significance of beauty as a bridge between traditions whereas the 'true' and the 'good' are often far too fraught for meditation. Though, as he observes, beauty itself does not arrive instantly it is a relationship which requires cultivation and devotion.
Thomas Jockin is a Fellow at the Halkyon Guild and the Founder of TypeThursday. He has taught at Pratt Institute, FIT (SUNY), Queens College (CUNY), and City College of New York (CUNY). I encountered Jockin and his work through his collaborations with O.G. Rose and the philosophical network 'The Net'
Jacob Kishere is a writer, rapper, facilitator & host of SENSESPACE Podcast. He completed his Masters thesis exploring 'Islam in Modernity: Power, History & The Sacred'
