Is Democracy Beautiful? (Part 1 of 2)

Brandon Vaidyanathan

What, if anything, is beautiful about democracy? Is it meaningful to talk about beauty when it comes to politics? 

These questions were discussed (and even fiercely debated) in our final plenary session of the Beauty at Work international symposium held at The Catholic University of America, May 27, 2023. 

We will share this session with you over the next couple of episodes. 

Panelists for the session were Hélène Landemore (Yale University), Shadi Hamid (The Atlantic), and Osita Nwanevu (The New Republic)

The panel was moderated by Samuel Kimbriel, Aspen Institute.

You can find the full video of the discussion on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/9FQPHMRsW1A?si=t7fcKRhfnr4EbL2r

This symposium was sponsored by Templeton Religion Trust, the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California, the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame, Archbridge Institute, and the Institute for Human Ecology at the Catholic University of America.
