About This Event
Taylor Swift's music resonates with millions, but what would the greatest thinkers of the Western tradition think of her lyrics? Join us for "Philosophy: Taylor's Version" and discover how themes such as love, memory, heartbreak, justice, and happiness weave through both Taylor's work and the Great Books of the Western canon.
Guided by Fr. Simon Teller, O.P. - a Dominican priest, musician, college chaplain, and social media influencer (just ask his 68.4K followers on Instagram) — this multimedia exploration will challenge your perspectives and connect timeless ideas with today’s cultural landscape.
We are incredibly grateful to The Redmoor for the generosity they have shown The Angelico Project. Come early and show your support. Dinner and drinks will be available for purchase starting at 6pm. Click here to see the menu.
