Thanks, Tom! I really appreciate this video and how you put these thinkers side by side and let them speak for themselves. It was also a good review of the difference between moral intuition, moral imagination and moral technique. JP's take on Genesis reminds me of how Steiner, in his Genesis lectures, spoke of the meaning of the Hebrew word "tov," which is translated as "good" in Genesis but also means "beautiful." And "beautiful" in turn means a kind of shining forth of an inner nature into outer manifestation. So to speak the truth about something ugly or beautiful is, in itself, beautiful. Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty.
