Truth, Beauty, and the Common Good by Christopher Garbowski

The examination of the transcendentals of truth, beauty and the good in this book stems from the perspective of Christian humanism, transcending ourselves in moral psychology, and perfecting ourselves to attain the good life. These critical approaches are each pertinent to the search for meaning in our lives which the transcendentals augment. From such a perspective, the book engages in an exploration of the philosophy of culture and religion which at key points in the discussion draws upon ritual, works of high and especially popular culture. The truth that moves us closer to discovering meaning and a fuller humanity is largely found in the world and culture that surrounds us and is related to wisdom, which is something that concerns us all.

Christopher Garbowski is a professor at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland, and teaches American popular culture to Polish students. He is primarily interested in values and religion in literature and popular culture and is the author and co-editor of a number of books.
