SOS Podcast #7 (May 2020) SPLENDOR WITHIN THE OBJECT This podcast is exclusively devoted to the appreciation of manifestations of Splendor through objects. Often overlooked, the key to unlocking Splendor in objects enables us to discover fascinating and splendid realities. This is not a materialist appreciation of the object. It is much rather an appreciation of the aesthetic significance of an object. Splendor is often present in a physical object in a way that gives it meaning or an authentically rare or unique quality.
