We're excited to welcome back Esther Lightcap Meek, PhD! She spoke for us five years ago about our longing to know: To know ourselves, the world, and God in the evident experiences of our everyday lives. She's going to continue in that vain at our April Forum speaking from themes found in her new book: Doorway to Artistry: Attuning Your Philosophy to Enhance Your Creativity.
From the back cover:
As a human person, you are artful and philosophical at the core of your being. Doorway to Artistry offers a playful, everyday philosophical approach necessary for life, integration, healing, and thriving in artistry. It reflects on the real and how we are involved with it, especially in our creative effort. In short, the real hospitably welcomes us, and in our artistry we reciprocate in noble courtesy. Human persons were made for this communion with the real.
Her Doorway book is whimsically organized along the pattern of her 1915 Craftsman style home on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River. Join us as we step inside to sit a spell and consider walking through new doorways of meaning and creativity with a wise guide.
Dr. Meek is professor emeritus at Geneva College (western PA) and senior scholar at The Seattle School for Theology and Psychology. She has written extensively on the philosophy of knowledge, her work focusing on the value of philosophy for everyday life. Her work resonates with the teachings of Michael Polanyi and D.C. Schindler. She is also a Fujimura Institute scholar.
