On Culture - Art is For Seeing

On Culture is the podcast for The Embassy. The foundation for this episode of On Culture is the corresponding dispatch from The Embassy - Art is For Seeing

Thanks again to Professor Agnes Callard for our correspondence regarding this piece and her piece (linked below).

Thanks to Chad Myers for this quote -

When we wish to correct with advantage, and to show another that he errs, we must notice from what side he views the matter, for on that side it is usually true, and admit that truth to him, but reveal to him the side on which it is false. He is satisfied with that, for he sees that he was not mistaken, and that he only failed to see all sides. Now, no one is offended at not seeing everything … Blaise Pascal - Pensees
